Ryan - then you have your answer - you just don't like it ;-) Various version of Outlook require multiple connections to the server - no one knows why - ask MS if you want an exercise in frustration.
The MS response to being unable to contact the server though is to throw up the password box - same as the generic error page in the browser instead of the MEANINGFUL errors actually returned by a webserver. You are beating a dead horse - nothing to do with courier I'm afraid. m/ -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Burton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 9:18 AM To: 'Mitch (WebCob)'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [courier-users] Re: Outlook / Imap Issue Yes, I am checking the remember password box. But it keeps prompting me anyway. Can't run it through a proxy, any other ideas? Right now I check 3 e-mail accounts using Outlook XP (upgraded, but made no difference). Seems like when I increase the daemons, and increase the connections from one IP, it will work ok. But I have to increase them both by a fair bit. Before I did that, I would check the e-mail accounts not problem, but as soon as I expand one folder, it would lose connection..etc. If I don't increase the number of daemons a little, it will work for a few minutes, and then start saying cannot connect and prompt for a password, then maybe work again...etc. What is IMAP-UW? Is that something I shoud look at? Is it possible that I need to upgrade server hardward as the authdaemonrc file suggests if there are issues with the daemons? Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Mitch (WebCob) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 4:11 AM To: Ryan Burton; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [courier-users] Re: Outlook / Imap Issue Are you not checking "remember password"?

I am watching netstat, and there is one connection when I check my mail. But if I go to another folder, it prompts me for a password and opens another connection. Enter the password, it doesn't work.

Webmail seems to work ok. When this starts happening use netstat to determine how many connections Outlook has open. The default configuration of Courier-IMAP accepts at most four connections from the same IP address. Brain-dead IMAP clients sometimes like to open dozens of IMAP connections, for no good reason. Courier will begin to refuse new IMAP connections that exceed the limit. Outlook may be reacting to a dropped connection by prompting for a password, and trying again. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
