Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:52.2.1-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since last thunderbird update, the popup asking for a username/password
when connecting
to a remote calendar (radicale in my case) does not display the calendar
account
name anymore.
This completely prevents me from being able to connect since on the same
single
server I use a dozen different calendars for different purposes, and
these
calendars all have different usernames and passwords for security
reasons.
Now, I see a dozen different popups, all of them reading exactly the
same:
http://server.example.com is requesting your username and password.
WARNING: Your password will not be sent to the website you are
currently visiting!
There are *no* indications of which calendr account this request
corresponds to, there is
only the server name. Since the same server holds several calendar
accounts and the
popups appear in random order, I cannot answer the request correctly.
In the previous versions, the calendar account name was displayed, so I
was able to provide
the correct username and matching password for each account in turn.
This is really preventing me from working with thunderbird and remote
calendars.
I do *not* want to set the same credentials on all accounts and I do
*not* want
thunderbird to store the passwords. Both choices are for security
considerations.
Would it be possible to have the account name displayed again in the
popup instead
of only the server name?
best regards,
Luc
