IMAP reconnecting trouble

[Rocco Rutte <pdmef@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a problem with IMAP I finally to managed to get a debug file for: 
my IP is dynamically assigned and when it changes, mutt looses its 
connection to the server. When opening a folder it notices it and tries 
to reopen/reauthenticate. However, it then hangs and reports it couldn't 
open the folder. Only exiting and restarting it helps.

The last part of the log looks like:

  Connected to xxx:993 on fd=5
  5< * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN 
AUTH=LOGIN] xxx IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Mon, 13 Nov 2006 16:27:16 +0100 (MET)

  Connection to xxx closed

  mutt_socket_close: Attempt to close closed connection.
  SASL authentication failed.
  mutt_index_menu[618]: Got op 107
  No mailbox is open.

What looks strange to me is that even though it opened a new connection, 
it uses the old numbers (though I don't think that really matters much, 
it's just that mutt should do some cleanup before opening a folder).

I get this usually once a day after several hours. Any chance that the 
fix for SASL and IMAP in CVS does help?

  bye, Rocco
