Bug 2765

Summary: Use permanent LDAP connection
Product: Claws Mail (GTK 2) Reporter: Christian Weiske <cweiske>

Description Christian Weiske 2012-10-25 13:21:56 UTC 
When sending a LDAP query, Claws Mail currently authenticates (bind), searches and disconnects (unbind). For every single LDAP query, a new connection is opened.

It would be nice if only one connection would be opened and re-used again and again.

This would reduce network traffic and timing issues when LDAP servers take several seconds to authenticate users.
