I had already re-entered the passwords using "Configuration/Edit
accounts" restarted claws and the passwords are remembered.
Now both accountrc and accountrc.bak are March 19 and identical.

Looking thru the commits I wondering if the issue might have been caused
by the change to using 'account_id' rather than 'account_name'

"3.13.2-71-g0a7b456"
<snip>
"diff --git a/src/prefs_account.c b/src/prefs_account.c
index 89b7a32..1d9b412 100644
--- a/src/prefs_account.c
+++ b/src/prefs_account.c"


I closed claws git68 that saved using 'account_name' but when I opened
claws74 it was looking for 'account_id', finding no such entry it
required that I manually enter the passwords.
