This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,

Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2003-02-12 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure i386-linux --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I use two different POP accounts for my email (sometimes I even use a
third account as well). I specify my accounts in the list
rmail-primary-inbox-list:
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:address@hidden:pop.psq.com"
"po:address@hidden:mail.crasseux.com"))
Then I set the variable rmail-pop-password-required to t so that rmail
will ask me for my password:
(setq rmail-pop-password-required t)
Finally I run M-x rmail
Then I am prompted for a password. I enter the password for my first
account, rmail then says it's gettign my mail from the server but then
it says that the authentication failed. However if I only specify one
of my two POP accounts in rmail-primary-inbox-list then I get my
emails without a problem.
This shouldn't be that difficult to fix. Simply use one password for
each pop account.
Or prompt the user with something like:
password for address@hidden:
password for address@hidden:
Thanks in advance,
Bijan Soleymani
