[imp] IMAP Log-on warnings with Horde/IMP

[Ronnie Garcia]

  If this could help anyone finding a solution, i went a bit farther and 
sniffed the IMAP dialog.


">" is imapd -> imp
"<" is imp -> imapd

In my case, when you enter login/pass in IMP's logon form, it does a total 
of 3 IMAP logins. Still in my case, the first one is always correct. The 
following 2 always leads to failure. The snif logs shows that IMP uses a 
different "some_crypted_string_4" on these last 2 login attempts.. i guess 
this is the password field.

  But why would it use a different password ?

Thanks again,
Ronnie.
