If the IMAP password is changed and there is an existing encrypted cache, the account cannot be opened in nmail until the cache is deleted and rebuilt from scratch. This can be an issue for people who rely on local storage to keep their emails but keep small server storage, and those are the most likely to use encryption for their big local cache I guess.

I noticed that on a config with different SMTP and IMAP accounts, and it occurred when changing the IMAP password. Not sure if the same would happen with SMTP as it's not directly related to the cache.

Let me know if you cannot reproduce and I'll collect some logs.
