[imp] Re: Authentication Problem

Thu Oct 23 07:58:09 PDT 2003

I have already removed all the authentication modules I don't need.  It's 
not just a simple password remember issue or enterer incorrectly, because I 
type it a few times and it works.  Random amount of times I have to enter it 
before it works...sometimes it doesnt at all.  This is what the horde.log 
says, if anyone can make sense of it: 

Oct 23 09:46:43 HORDE [notice] [imp] Login success for user at example.com 
[131.137.210.39] to {localhost:143} [on line 92 of 
"/home/apache/htdocs/horde/imp/redirect.php"]Oct 23 09:47:44 HORDE [error] 
[imp] FAILED LOGIN 130.134.210.39 to localhost:143[imap/notls] as 
user at example.com [on line 281 of 
"/home/apache/htdocs/horde/imp/lib/IMP.php"] 

I replaced my e-mail with the user example.  I get this after I log in, then 
when browsing around I get knocked back to the login screen with the second 
error.  The folling is what's on those lines 

line 92:  Horde::logMessage($entry, __FILE__, __LINE__, LOG_NOTICE);
line 281: Horde::logMessage($entry, __FILE__, __LINE__, LOG_ERR); 

Has anyone seen this before or know how to resolv this annoying issue? 

Thanks,
ryan.
