Hi,
I have:
auth_cache_size = 4096
auth_cache_ttl = 3600
I use Thunderbird connecting to my Dovecot IMAP server 1.1rc1. I click on five folders and close Thunderbird.
This is my log:
dovecot: Feb 27 17:26:56 Info: Dovecot v1.1.rc1 starting up

Sort of the same thing: but more inconsistent. Sometimes I click five folders and OE will have done 3 logins sometimes 2.
So new IMAP logins for (more or less) every click in Thunderbird and OE; this is what auth_cache_size should solve right?
Am I applying the auth_cache_* variables wrong or is something else wrong?
Cheers,
Jan
