Hi again, The expected behavior is to keep trying to access the imap inbox even if the server is telling you that's the wrong password?
I would like it to try once and if it cannot access it for any reason to give me feedback as to what is going on before trying again. The only way I can get around this is deleting my account before changing the password on the imap server and then creating with a new password. That's inconvenient. I'll file it as a bug then, any chance it will get fixed soon? Mayly On Mon, 2001-11-19 at 15:47, Luis Villa wrote: > Hrm. I think it is (sort of) the expected behavior.
