Re: [vchkpw] Imap and pop3 problem
Just from a best practice stand point, it sounds like you're really asking for a headache accessing the same data 2 different ways at the same time with the same program. I'd recommend finding a different solution. One being setting up a filter in outlook that looks for the Spam status header and filtering it in outlook rather than on the server (if bandwidth isn't something you're trying to save). The other being just check the spam folder via webmail once in a while. I'd really try and avoid accessing the same data at the same time 2 different ways. While unix is forgiving, most client applications aren't. Dean On Dec 16, 2003, at 5:44 PM, Ross Davis - DataAnywhere.net wrote: I have configured my new server with pop3 and courier imap.

I think the problem is that imap and pop3 are conflicting with each other when checking the same account at the same time. Anyone else tried this or know of a solution?

I think the problem is that imap and pop3 are conflicting with each other when checking the same account at the same time. Anyone else tried this or know of a solution? first of all, why use the imap AND pop3 account? You can view your inbox with your imap account just fine. I use imap, and only imap anymore, as I like to be able to get the same emails from anywhere :) Incorrect. The problem is courier-imap only allows a small amount of imap connections per IP, and outlook and outlook express both open several connections at a time, and the IMAP server is killing the extra connections. Unfortunately that is true. Also unfortunately, Mozilla Thunderbird (at least for linux) also does that. It sets up a new connection for each folder, which, in my case, is very bad, as I have lots of imap folders (at least 2 for every mailing list I'm on, as well as lots of 'personal' folders) I don't use windows anymore, and I never really used Outlook with my imap server, I've been using evolution under linux for the past 2 years, which is absolutely wonderful. I would suggest perhaps trying some other mail clients. I know eudora (at least later versions) is very nice, but it's not freeware, so unless you register it you have a few very small (and unobtrusive) ads in your main client window (it is NOT spyware, and will NOT pop up ads on you) Also, I'm sure freshmeat would have a nice listing of free email clients for windows, certainly one of them will perform well enough for you. I certainly wish I could recommend one for you other than Eudora, but I do not use windows anymore, nor do I feel like installing windows just for that ;) Maybe some day... I am planning on opening a site very soon that will review a lot of things, I'm semi keeping it secret because I don't own the domain yet and don't want someone to steal it before I can get it :\ I will put Windows MUAs on my checklist of things to review, hopefully it will be helpful to someone. Find your 'imapd' file, (default /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc), and find the MAXPERIP variable. Raise it. That will certainly help, but in my case I would also be limited by the max connections configuration directive, because I have far more than 40 (which is the default) imap folders. I think this is more an MUA problem than a server side problem. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
