This is a thorough description of the problem, though complete steps to reproduce it are not given.
Unfortunately no link to a bugzilla issue, and the workaround appears to be quite hazardous to reliability.

Not quite the same as my issue, but possibly related
fixes in Thunderbird 3 beta 2
This is a bug report for the exact bug we experience in Thunderbird - OK blocks the interface (you should be able to read and edit mail offline, but you have this darn modal dialog in your way) and Cancel forgets the password.
This is tagged as resolved - but it is so close to our symptoms in tB 2.0.0.21 that I am not so sure.
Fixed! i don't see where its fixed, AFAIK it still does what it's always done, looses your password whatever the cause of the failed connection is.
not yet resolved
Passwords still blocking on Trunk

When the mail server goes down and comes back up again, Mozilla Thunderbird continues to ask you for the password. This is a problem if you're connection to the net is not always on (WiFi, DSL etc)
