There is just one thing that I notice on both the original patch and the
CVS version, but that may be due to my weird use[1]. In my tries to
enter wrong passwords, I can only say that mutt correctly allows to
relogin/try again, like the original patch did, which feels good. I'll
keep on using this version, to see if something pops up. Thanks!
[1] I use within one imap account, one folder as another account. For
this, I let mutt connect to the same imap account, but with another base
path. What I use is like set folder=imaps://X@host and set
folder=imaps://X@host/folder. When the login to imaps://X@host fails,
"switching" to imaps://X@host/folder (after a successfull relogin to
imaps://X@host) confuses mutt, such that it doesn't find any subfolders
in that "account". Admittedly, this probably is wrong use of imap.
