A call mail_open() with an open MAILSTREAM as the first argument is a
"recycle" call. If the new mailbox name (second argument) indicates the
same site as the mailbox open in the MAILSTREAM, that stream switches to
the new mailbox without closing the session or logging out. Thus, the
client can switch from one mailbox to another on the same server without
having to log in again. In the IMAP protocol, this is a SELECT command.
If the new mailbox name indicates a different server than what is open on
the mailstream, a recycle call will close the MAILSTREAM, and then open a
new session and log in again.
The entire purpose of the recycle call is to avoid closing the session and
logging in again when switching mailboxes at the server. If you want to
force a login each time, you must close the old stream with mail_close(),
then call mail_open() with NIL as the first argument.

I have a problem with a program i have done. This program is linked with the
c-client.a library.
The program performs a first mail_open request which works fine (the
mm_login callback is called and I set here the login and password)
And then it performs a second mail_open with the same STREAMS. In the
documentation I have seen that's it's authorized and that the IMAP library
will automatically close the first STREAMS.
But in this case the mm_login callback is not called ans this second
connection was done with the login and password of the first connection.
Is it normal ?
How can i change the login and password for the second connection ?
