Too many login failures

sven-teichmann · June 2009

Hello,

I've a problem again. I want to fetch emails with pop3 now, but there is everytime this error:

Too many login failures

I don't know what's the problem. I've checked the login datas again and again, but they are correct.
I've also checked the host datas and they are correct, to.

What's wrong?

Same issue, after upgrading to RC5

I just upgraded to 1.6RC5 and I'm also getting that same error message when setting up an email account in the Admin Panel. I have tried using several different POP3 accounts with different providers, all with the same result.

If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think we are all experiencing the same problem, I just happened to tie it to gmail ssl.

There appears to be no solution!

I believe POP/IMAP related issues are now resolved. Download the latest version again and re-upload all files with the exception of setup directory and include/settings.php

How to fix this

This happens from two things

1. You just installed/uninstalled mcrypt or moved servers (mcrypt changed your password salt between servers, or one server does not have mcrypt)

2. Your crontab kept executing until Gmail locks your account out.

How to fix

1. Reset Gmail from your server ip (might need to run lynx)
For Gmail:

https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

For Google apps:
https://www.google.com/a/yourdomain/UnlockCaptcha

2. Re-enter the password of each email in the admin panel, email tab of osTicket

I added code to check this

Change fields EMAIL ACCOUNT HERE and PASSWORD HERE


<?php
	$mbox=imap_open (\"{pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}Inbox\", \"EMAIL ACCOUNT HERE\", \"PASSWORD HERE\")
 or die(\"Error: \" . imap_last_error());
 
	
	echo \"<h1>Mailboxes</h1>\n\";
	$folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, \"{imap.example.org:143}\", \"*\");

	if ($folders == false) {
		echo \"Call failed<br />\n\";
	} else {
		foreach ($folders as $val) {
			echo $val . \"<br />\n\";
		}
	}

	echo \"<h1>Headers in INBOX</h1>\n\";
	$headers = imap_headers($mbox);

	if ($headers == false) {
		echo \"Call failed<br />\n\";
	} else {
		foreach ($headers as $val) {
			echo $val . \"<br />\n\";
		}
	}

	imap_close($mbox);
?>

Not Using GMail

Is there a solution for those of us not using Gmail as the mail server?
