Why does RC2 use user@localhost for authenticating against IMAP?

[el_kab0ng]

When logging into the main page of RC, everything works fine. If I attempt to view folders under personal settings, I get an authorization failed because RC attempts to use user@localhost as the user name.

Why does this happen and how can I fix it? I don't want RC to use an @domain username. I'm assuming it's grabbing the @localhost from the mail host option in main.inc.php. I don't want users to select a domain to use for logging in, so I HAVE to set that option. If set to localhost, RC should not use an @domain username.

// the mail host chosen to perform the log-in
// leave blank to show a textbox at login, give a list of hosts
// to display a pulldown menu or set one host as string.
// To use SSL connection, enter ssl://hostname:993
// $rcmail_config['default_host'] = '';
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

// TCP port used for IMAP connections
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 143;

// Automatically add this domain to user names for login
// Only for IMAP servers that require full e-mail addresses for login
// Specify an array with 'host' => 'domain' values to support multiple hosts
$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = '';

// This domain will be used to form e-mail addresses of new users
// Specify an array with 'host' => 'domain' values to support multiple hosts
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = '';

IMAP Errors:

Dec 22 14:10:54 email imap[31260]: badlogin: localhost.* [127.0.0.1] plaintext user@localhost SASL(-13): user not found: checkpass failed

After this happens, my session terminates and I am forced to log back in. At the user/pass login prompt, I can get back in just fine.

IMAP:

Dec 22 14:15:18 email imap[31340]: login: localhost.* [127.0.0.1] user CRAM-MD5 User logged in

The only differences I can see are that the folders option attempts to login as user@localhost rather than just user and that it attempts a plain text login versus a CRAM-MD5 session.

Any thoughts?

I' having the same issue on a Cpanel install. I can open browse through the folder and see messages, but I can move or delete them. The logout is random.
