   Gibt es irgendwas nervigeres als die nicht endenden Password Prompts von Thunderbird? #FAIL

     @moeffju Re. !thunderbird pwd prompt repeating: Maybe a #gmail address syncing add-on?

     @m1 Address syncing..? I'm not running any.

     @moeffju I had that once. TB started & I had answer hundreds of dialogs. Was just a guess.

     @m1 Ah, ok. No, this happens anytime a mail server is down or temporarily failing. Tb assumes the pass is wrong and keeps asking...

     @moeffju Ah, I see. Diasbale 'fetch update every n minute' for that shaky server. F5 polls all servers if needed (& asks again :).

     @m1 It's not queued prompts from repeated fetches, it throws countless prompts for EACH fetch.

     @m1 And the server is not generally shaky, it just sometimes fails for a few minutes. (Like Gmail did.)

     @moeffju Re. countless prompts for each TB poll: I can't reproduce that. I only get 1 error message 'SMTP X not available'.

     @m1 IMAP, Google Apps for your Domain, sometimes it fails resulting in endless password prompts.

     @moeffju wie löst man die imap gmail passwort fails? habe damit riesenprobleme (thunderbird)

     @getoliverleon Ich habe noch keine Lösung gefunden. Thunderbird schließen, 5-10 Min. warten und das IMAP-Passwort nochmal eingeben...

     @moeffju Difficult to decide if this is a TB bug or a gIMAP bug or maybe even a TB feature. Check #bugzilla (is all I can say).

   • Matthias Bauer Markus Merz

     @m1 I had a list of bugzilla bugs in my votes, but some are closed, dupes, etc. and I don't feel like browsing Bugzilla again.

     @m1 I'm fairly sure it's a Tb bug/misfeature though because I have it ever since I use Tb, with any mail provider.

     @moeffju If I get a step by step procedure, maybe with a fake #IMAP or #SMTP server, I am wiling to try to reproduce the !thunderbird issue.

   • Matthias Bauer Markus Merz

     @m1 I will do a writeup on my blog when I have time, but basically I think it is: Fetch mail, have the IMAP server fail.

   • Markus Merz

     @moeffju Sure, got that but I can't reproduce the repeating pwd prompts.

     @m1 and @moeffju : If you do rproduce can you follow those instructions : http://ur1.ca/1vxy and raise a bug wit both #smtp and #imap logs

     @ludovic @moeffju Thanks for the tip. Makes sense. !thunderbird 'reproduce & log #bug' instructions : http://ur1.ca/1vxy

   • Matthias Bauer Oliver

     @getoliverleon Maybe you can reproduce the failure? http://identi.ca/notice/2460895 and http://identi.ca/notice/2460918

     @moeffju it works with another ip, same system, no reboots / restarts. Meine theorie: Google meint ich wäre spammer
