hello:
I have a question on imap process:
if a client connect to dovecot like foxmail(version 10) , dovecot will
start at least 3 imap processes , and these imap processes will online until
client logout , if the client not logout ,the imap process will always online.
this is similar to the long connection and imap's auto logout timer is not
effect in this case.
now I have two questions:
1: if there are a large number of users online at the same time ( eg about 30
000 users): so dovecot should shart at least 30 000 * 3 imap processes, if
user not logout ,so many processes are online all the time .this is terrible.
I dot'n know if there is a solution ??
now I have changed the timeout = 2min and test ,dovecot active disconnected
imap process ,but I don't think this is a appropriate option.
2: I want to know why auto logout timer duration of IMAP protocol must be not
less than 30 minuters ??
My English is not vary good ,I'm sorry but I really want to know the answer .
thanks
