Upgraded a 2.2.29 to this one and all hell broke loose! All users (MS
Outlook!) were being prompted for mail password! They'd enter it, mail is
fetched, and on the next check (even though the password had always been
saved) they'd be prompted again. So I quickly reverted to 2.2.29 and peace
prevailed.

Now I am just wondering what exactly is causing this and how to fix it if I
am to come to 2.2.30.1
