Kernel increases the limit immediately, so you don't need to do anything else. There's no need to even restart Dovecot (although existing IMAP processes that failed to use inotify before won't be using it until the client reconnects). > And what exactly is breaking when I receive this notification? When IMAP client uses IDLE command, Dovecot can't use inotify to notify the client immediately after new message has been received.
