If mozilla mail refuses to ask if you want your password remembered, make sure you don't have the line
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
in your mozilla prefs.js file!
-And I *really* hate it how you can't highlight and select email addresses from within the header box.

+!Annoying things about mozilla mail
--- JohnMcPherson
+* it feels slow, even on a fast machine. This seems to be due to XUL, and can't be helped. Opening a new window isn't as instantaneous as you would expect on flash hardware. Moving another window around on top of moz mail results in noticable redraws. Rendering non
-latin characters also seems to slow down moz quite a bit.
+* Need to be root to install EnigMail for [GPG] support. I managed to work around this my making my own moz tree and symlinking almost everything back to the original, but that's a clumsy workaround.
+* Can't highlight and select email addresses in the headers summary. Traditionally graphical apps on X let you select text into X's clipboard. I know you can right click, but that's not The UnixWay.
+* Integration in SeaMonkey means that if your browser hangs, all your mail windows do too. MozillaThunderbird and MozillaFirebird should prevent this.
+* If the headers are too wide for the message display window (eg a long name/email address, or attachment filename), mozilla resizes all the internal widgets, making the folder names list thinner. Not only is the jiggling annoying as it sizes and resizes multiple times, it makes it hard to move messages to folders if the folder list is only a few pixels wide.
