We have a user complaining that his Outlook repeatedly ask for his password
before finally being able to connect and download his emails. I've tracked
down the problem to his mailbox being busy, see below:
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Sending +OK Stalker POP3 Server 1.8b8 at
octave.hexact.net ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Input Line: USER myuser\r
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Sending +OK please send PASS command\r\n
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Input Line: PASS mypass\r
13:53:29 3 POP {myuser} is busy
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Sending -ERR Your account is currently in
use\r\n
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Input Stream ended
13:53:29 4 POP-667([67.68.76.6]) Aborting
It seems that Outlook does not understand the "currently in use" error and
thinks that because the last thing it sends is the password, that it's the
cause of the error.
Isn't there a way of reporting that error so that Outlook would understand
it? Does CommuniGate Pro have the same problem?
Best thing would be to get rid of the busy mailbox, making it readable while
it's being written to, but that would probably involve a major code rewrite.
