probably never implemented - I assume a notification gets sent out from the password manager?
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I don't see any documentation that Log Out for password manager was suppose to Log Out of email accounts. Jennifer do you know if this was suppose to be implemented for mail?

"Log out" currently does this = It logs you out from the password manager which means that you must reenter the master-password (if enabled) It doesn't logout from Http pages with basic auth or Mail Accounts.

after reading the documentation it seems that i misunderstood what log out was supposed to do which probably makes this report obsolete. this is more of a feature request now but for a web software developer http basic authentication logout would be a very useful feature because now when i want to change the user account with which i'm logged in to an application i'm developing i have to exit and restart Mozilla which can be quite tedious when you have to do it many times per day. the same applies to missing imap server log out functionality.

we have already a RFE for Basic Auth logoff in the networking component -> RFE
Severity: normal → enhancement
OS: Linux → All
Summary: log out does not work with mail → "Tools/Password Manager/log out" should logout from mail
>"Log out" currently does this = It logs you out from the password manager which >means that you must reenter the master-password (if enabled) >It doesn't logout from Http pages with basic auth or Mail Accounts. Correct.
Thanks all for the info. RFE bug is 53488, marking this a dup of that bug since it's an enhancement request instead of a non-working menu item bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 53488 ***

I'm going to reopen this one and make it depend on bug 53488 instead of being a duplicate. As written 53488 is about IMAP, and perhaps there is specific IMAP "logging out" stuff that would have to happen. This one has a But in general, once mailnews grabs a password -- POP, IMAP, news -- it remembers it until the app shuts down. I'm not sure the original password manager "log out" button is the best way, the user might not even save their password and those users might be even more concerned about the ability to log out. Plus that menu item doesn't appear in the mailnews Tool menu, you'd have to dig into prefs. This is probably less of a concern in Thunderbird -- OK, just shut down if you're not using it. But in the app suite you might have running chatzilla sessions or browser research open that would make shutting down inconvenient. Another example: my ISP gives different levels of access to news depending on the username/password used. If I use the regular account (so my kids don't have access to adult content) and want to get something from one of the binary groups I have to shut down the suite. And then remember to shut down again when I'm done.

is bug 234919 a dupe? I understand the bug is an enhancement by normal standards, but given it's a security issue I'm surprised it's stuck with that level of severity.
