Hi there, 6.0.0 entered Debian in May 2008 and the developers have
mostly changed since then. 

Are you using kerberos auth, ssl or plain IMAP connections? It will ask
for passwords if authentication fails, as far as I know, so it could
even be a problem on the server side.

That having said, try the latest pre-release and see if the problems
still occur...
