That .png is Tb 'saying' that the server wants a user/pass. However, Tb

No, not the same thing.

The cited .png just above your reply is different than the first. That
one is showing that he has left the authentication box unchecked.

That's you (your thunderbird) requesting
authentication.

No; the earlier .png was that. The next one was his settings including
the unchecked box for authenticating.
