SMTP Password should ask again when wrong password entered

Reported by: pablofunes Owned by: mutt-dev
Priority: minor Milestone: 1.6
Component: mutt Version: 1.5.14
Keywords: smtp Cc:

Description

Entering a smtps://user@host.x.yyy address, with no password, correctly prompts you for a new password. However, if you mistype that password, the connection fails without prompting for the password again.

Patch to fix the problem. It clears the flag that says a password is available if authentication fails.

(In [a0e038310f42]) Forget SMTP password if authentication fails. Thanks to Gregory Shapiro for the initial patch (I've moved the reset from smtp_auth_sasl up to smtp_auth, and used the account API instead of twiddling account bits by hand). Closes #2872.
