I am attempting to move up to 2.3.0 from 2.2.0a17.  2.3.0 runs somewhat...
Mail is passing through it, getting stored, etc.  But after running a short
time, Outlook started popping up those "can't logon to POP.... give me
another password" popups.  I'd hit enter and they'd go away, mail would
arrive.  But then a few minutes later they'd start popping up again.

I went to the logs and saw hundreds of the following error message (in all
the logs... not just POP):

java.sql.SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1:3306. Is
there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect
to? (java.net.BindException)

(The answer is 'yes'... there is a MySQL server on that port... James talked
to it a few milliseconds before and a few milliseconds after each of these
messages...)

My debug attempts so far:

1) I simply shut down 2.3.0 and fired up 2.2.0a17 again.  It ran solid with
zero errors for several hours.  Swapped back to 2.3.0, and started getting
errors within 10 minutes.  NO other changes in the machine except the
version of James that is running.

2) I never recycled mysql during any of this.  Same exact mysql for both.
So the old James can talk to the db consistently just fine, and the new
James can't seem to connect ever few times it tries.

3) There are no errors in the mysql log.  So it doesn't look like a mysql
connection issue.

I'm running with 40 max connections (same with both versions of the server).
But the default config file has 20.  It also says to bump it up if I get a
certain error.  But it's not this error message.

I figure I could go in and start bumping it higher.  But I don't like simply
opening throttles up with no idea why.

So my question is... what has changed between 2.2.0a17 and 2.3.0 in the area
of db connections?  This message seems to indicate a socket error with the
mysql server.  But mysql never changes and it only fails with the new
version of James.

I'm a software architect and can do debug.  So feel free to talk as techie
as you like about this.

Please give me some hints as to what might be happening.  I can't move to
2.3.0 until I figure this out.

Thx.

Jerry
