I have two mail sources. If I happen to type the correct password to the
first and the incorrect password to the second, Gnus pops up a message
saying something to the effect of "incorrect password, continue? (yes/no)."
When I say "yes," Gnus continues but does not read mail that was collected
from the first mail source (mail-source-crash-box?).
It also caches that incorrect password, so that I have to clear the
mail-source-password-cache (at least for that one source) before it will
ever read correctly. In the past, I thought Gnus would simply not set the
password if it was incorrect.

Could you `(setq debug-on-quit t)` and `C-g' when it prompts you?
Mail me the backtrace.

Yup. Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97.

I just checked and Gnus seems to be doing the right thing now. 0.97 also
corrects the small problem that Gnus cached the incorrect password. Good
work, Lars.
