It might have been partially fixed, I *think* we only re-ask for

Is a password failure a common error? Seems to happen to me a fair
bit...
It has never once happened to me..
Yeah well, you're on a lan and the mail server doesn't go down much.
Oh, and you use IMAP anyway .... :)
It happens(ed) to me fairly frequently. Although now I don't see the errors, since I'm using getmail and
Courier IMAP for a local server. I was pretty annoyed at having to re-enter passwords in Evo every time my
POP account was blocked for maintenance (or some error like that) though. I guess it all depends on your
ISP.
Like I said, I think the 1.1 code treats password failure differently,
then again i'm not sure, its not always easy to tell with pop. I find
the behaviour pretty annoying too. One problem is that an isp might
leave the port open, so we can successfully connect, and then just give
us a 'bad password error - we're busy' response, which we can't parse
any other way as 'bad password', and ask for another one.
PS dan is an example of someone who uses a mailer that doesn't provide
information for message threading ... :)
