Hi,
I have an installation where different clients are accessing a single IMAP account. Each of the clients is using TheBat v5.0.36. This has been working generally fine for some time (months with this version, years with earlier versions.) Now, suddenly, there are problems: When clients start up, they hang on connecting. The status line states "TLS handshake [something]". Some clients never connect, others connect after some time (e.g. five minutes.) Those that don't connect, you have to kill TheBat by using task manager. Some connect, but don't see new mail. With others, folder updates are extremly slow. This is a log from a machine that did connect after nearly four minutes: *** 04.03.2013, 08:40:11: IMAP - Verbinde zum IMAP-Server [server] auf Port 993 04.03.2013, 08:40:12: IMAP - Einleitung TLS-Handshake >04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - Zertifikat S/N: [s/n], Algorithmus: RSA (2048 >Bits), ausgestellt von 05.09.2011 13:39:08 bis 04.09.2013 13:39:08, für 1 >Host(s): [server]. >04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - Besitzer: [...] >04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - Aussteller: [...] 04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - TLS-Handshake vollständig 04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - Verbunden zum IMAP-Server ([server]) >04.03.2013, 08:43:57: IMAP - *** That was early this morning. Immediatly afterwards, the very same machine did connect much faster: *** 04.03.2013, 08:44:14: IMAP - Verbinde zum IMAP-Server [server] auf Port 993 04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - Einleitung TLS-Handshake >04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - Zertifikat S/N: [s/n], Algorithmus: RSA (2048 >Bits), ausgestellt von 05.09.2011 13:39:08 bis 04.09.2013 13:39:08, für 1 >Host(s): [server]. >04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - Besitzer: [...] >04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - Aussteller: [...] 04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - TLS-Handshake vollständig 04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - Verbunden zum IMAP-Server ([server]) >04.03.2013, 08:44:15: IMAP - *** I seem to remember there being an issue like this during one of the last beta cycles. Could someone remind me how this turned out again? Was it a bug in TheBat that was subsequently fixed (meaning I could perform an update to the latest version and be fine), or was it a different problem?
