[Dovecot] Auth_cache not working?

[Jan van den Berg]

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

dovecot: Feb 27 17:26:56 Info: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to

In Outlook Express:

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,
