Yeah well, you're on a lan and the mail server doesn't go down much. Oh, and you use IMAP anyway .... :) > It happens(ed) to me fairly frequently.

Like I said, I think the 1.1 code treats password failure differently, then again i'm not sure, its not always easy to tell with pop. I find the behaviour pretty annoying too. One problem is that an isp might leave the port open, so we can successfully connect, and then just give us a 'bad password error - we're busy' response, which we can't parse any other way as 'bad password', and ask for another one. PS dan is an example of someone who uses a mailer that doesn't provide information for message threading ... :) _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
