I have always used caching;  password changes have not been a problem,
a negative response invalidates the cache entry. AFAIK it only caches
positive attempts.

Yes, seems to work. (-n 5 -> -n 50 - no problems any more).
Has anybody tried to use -c -t (c = caching, t=timeout for cache). What 
about users

changing the password 

Bye, Peer

Hi,

I'm using cyrus-imapd (now 2.4.x) and Thunderbird. The problem is, 
when I click fast on the e-mails, I often get the "Login to server 
foo.bar failed" (when I click like one -email per 3 seconds 
everything is fine). My password is okay, so I just press "Cancel". I 
live with this problem for a really long time, and I can say the this 
is specific to the TB: it doesn't happen in Outlook. I've read a lot 
about this, and, besides the mailbox being improperly configured and 
failing authrization 100% of the time (which is not my case), there's 
an urban legend that TB uses by default  5 concurrent connections to 
the IMAP server (and this part is true), while cyrus permits less. 
But the thing is, even with 1 connecton configured in TB (in advanced 
settings), I still get this error when clicking messages fast. No 
errors are logged on the cyrus side, just the normal log stating that 
I was allowed to examine my mailbox.


Is there any way to get rid of these boring messages ?

Cyrus ML may not be the correct place to ask for this, but BT/Mozilla 
community just gives me futile answers like "are you sure you type 
your passwords right" and so on.



Thanks.

Eugene.
