Bug Description

----- TEST CASE for Hardy SRU ------

Install and run checkgmail from the terminal. It will fail to start with this error:

"A thread exited while 2 threads were running."

Install the package from hardy-proposed. Checkgmail will now start and run as expected.

Please note that even with this fix, checkgmail takes considerable time to load due to Bug #249245. So give it a minute... =)

---------------------------------------------

Binary package hint: checkgmail

Checkgmail suddenly stopped logging in at approximately around the 16th of July 08. A window comes up titled "incorrect username or password", but no matter what is put in the entry fields, checkgmail will not log on. Using version checkgmail 1.13-1ubuntu1 (hardy).

Terminal output is as follows:

dov@fred-lt:~$ checkgmail

I'm having the same problem, I also tried to install checkgmail from sources. It seems that checkgmail 1.13 shows, as "info", a version of 1.12svn.

Same problem here (starting on 2009-09-24).
As a workaround, starting with -no_cookies works.
