I have some accounts and I have to enter master password for each accounts always for new session Thunderbird. Is there any way to enter master password only one time for all accounts at once?

When exactly do you get the master password prompt?

Please post a screenshot of the password prompt. http://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

I get Master password prompt once time when I run Thunderbird, but prompt appears for each account - so, if I have 7 accounts, I get 7 prompts etc.
