Can't download .mbox file

Hi,

I can't seem to download the .mbox file for a thread, no matter how hard I
try. I just registered an account (gmile), got my login and password.
Hitting .mbox download would just keep showing me basic HTTP auth, which in
turn won't accept my credentials & start downloading.

I already tried account_name+password combination and email+password
combination. I tried changing my password too. I can log in with it, but
not download .mbox.

Could this be a bug, or is .mbox downloading was disabled? If so, is there
anywhere else the archives are stored / backed up, so I could download them?

I'm certainly missing something very obvious here.

Unfortunately, the auth screen which has the username and password to
use in it isn't displayed on modern browsers (at least Chrome, possibly
others).

The correct username/password to use is:

user: archives
pw: antispam

Thanks!
