Betalogue describes a bug in Snow Leopard that really is frustrating:

Much to the dismay of every Mac OS X user with occasional bandwidth unreliability, Apple has actually managed to make the situation worse in Snow Leopard—much, much worse.

Now, when checking mail in a low-bandwidth situation and getting a lack of response from a mail server, Mail 4.x still throws the modal dialog box in your face. But then when you dismiss it, which takes the account off-line, for some reason the idiotic Mail actually really forgets the account’s password.

— Mail 4.x: Even more frustrating behaviour when dealing with low-bandwidth situations, betalogue.com, October 19, 2009

I routinely check seven different email accounts, and the modal password dialogs, one after the other, are maddening.
