[Vtigercrm-developers] Problems in Connecting to IMAP Server and DB Migration in vtiger-5.0

[Matthew Brichacek]

The connection string seems to be a hit and miss depending on the email
server.  If I put too many connection attempts into the MailBox class it
slows the system down considerably for each attempt.  I'll work on it
some more, have been out of town and missed the 5.0.0 release :(.
