Why does Thunderbird force me to enter my Master Password 3 x before proceeding?

Using 52.5. I have 10 email accounts from various providers (Cox.net, Hotmail & Google) all passwords set up using the "Master Password" option. Whenever I open the application I am forced to enter the Master Password 3 times rather than once, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a "Master Password" no? I suspect it probably has something to do with having the 3 different email servers. But still, it seems the "Master" should cover all accounts and servers with one entry. Am I missing something? Any ideas what might be causing this to occur and how I can fix it?

Thanks!
