I found some interesting info related to this bug.
I had a problem of SeaMonkey asking for the Master Password 8 times every start-up.

I could enter the MP once and cancel the other dialogs (in the right order, because a newer dialog blocks the old, so you have to cancel the newest first), instead of entering it the 8 times.

I though it was related to a profile corruption, because it happened just to one of my profiles, but I was wrong.

Today I migrated from a own Inbox for each account (each one of them getting new mail at Mails start-up) to a Global Inbox for every account, except the IMAP one.

Now it prompts for the password just twice.

It looks like SeaMonkey makes all of the requests before one of them ask for the MP, then each of the requests maintains the state that the MP wasn't entered and each one of them asks for the MP, even if a lot of them already asked for.

Putting the accounts in the Global Inbox made SeaMonkey make the requests in sequence, it just starts downloading from one account after the other have finished.

It's a good idea to make multiple requests, if we can, off course.
So it is not a good solution to make every password request synchrony, but should be verified if the MP was requested at the time of making a new MP request, instead of the server (page) password request.
