So I tried this with the latest version of Safari, and AFAICT it just worked --- I got a download without any fiddle-faddle. I assume what this means is that I'm already logged in, but if so it was quite some time ago, because I rarely use this.
I'd have to guess you saved the username and password. I'm logged in, and if I click any of the mbox links in Chrome or Safari, I just get a prompt telling me to sign in, with no other details.
Safari has a "remember password" option on that dialog. Chrome does not.
I'd think this means that for most of the people who actually use this feature there's not going to be a problem. So I agree that taking up valuable screen real estate is not a great solution.
