Thunderbird and "Login to server failed".

[Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch]

Hi,

since we upgraded our installation to 2.4.18-142 (SuSE SLES) we see the 
same behavior.
We are using the same settings as before. Fast deleting (2 msg per second)
of messages shows "login failed".
I haven't checked this out. Any idea how to analyses this ?

Bye, Peer
