Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030908

When attempting to limit the number of IMAP connections to use, the number keeps
getting reset to either "2" or "5." I've tried many values, from 0 through 4,
and none of them work.

This causes cache problems when using courier-imap and qmail with a relay
control script, as well as not working according to documented behavior.

I've even tried changing it directly with vi to no avail. :(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change number of imap connections to cache to 0-4
2.Exit the mail settings window.
3.The number has now changed.



Expected Results:  
Keep the defined number of connections to cache.

0 or 1 isn't going to work - we require at least 2 (though I should reduce that
to 1). But, can you try a 1.6 build? 1.4 is an old build, and this works fine
for me in 1.6

Attachment: make 1 cached connection work

this allows you to set the number of cached connections to 1
