Howdy -
I am running dovecot-2.2.24-1.fc23.x86_64 on Fedora 23. It's up to date as of last night.
When I log in from a desktop using Thunderbird on Linux, my Android phone (Nexus 6P) stops receiving mail. It happens if I'm on my laptop or my desktop.
My wife has the same problem using Thunderbird on Windows. If she leaves the house and forgets to shut down her MUA, her phone can't retrieve messages.
Is this expected behavior? Can I change it? I feel like it's pretty common for folks to have multiple devices which access the same mail account. Between phones, tablets, PCs, etc., this seems like a pretty common scenario.
It's a pretty vanilla setup:
[root@wintermute ~]# dovecot -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } ssl = required ssl_cert =
Thanks! Thomas
