Package: offlineimap Version: 4.0.9 Severity: normal Hi,
I use offlineimap against a Courier-IMAP server that is occasionally quite loaded. For that reason, every once in a while, it takes quite some time for that server to respond. Unfortunately, when this happens, offlineimap will, for some reason, decide that the passphrase isn't correct and prompt me for it (even though it is specified in the configuration file, it worked on previous occasions, and it did not explicitely receive a 'password incorrect' response from the server either). When this happens, I might not notice that something went wrong, and have a not-working offlineimap running for hours. I run offlineimap in a 'screen' session with the curses blinkenlights frontend, should that matter. It'd be nice if offlineimap would handle login timeouts differently, e.g., by having a configurable variable that could be used to specify the login timeout, or by dropping the connection (and retrying later), etc. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages offlineimap depends on: ii python2.3 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-o -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
