Maybe I am missing something, but I provide a password when I create a profile. Therefore, this profile will become useless when the password expires. I thought it would be natural to store this expiry date together with the profile, so we don't have to do extra steps in order to figure out for how long a profile will be valid. Clients that use the profile to create a mapi session could then check the expiration from the profile and do something appropriate. Since my client runs every ten minutes, I wouldn't want it to check the expiration on the server. -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
