We have implement imap idle in web mail built by us to have
push mail feature. IMAP idle working perfectly with browser notification
and we are happy with it but having one issue with users who close the
browser directly and never logout in that case there are number of idle
connection which are not in use and users are unable to login once IP wise
connection limit is reached.
Dovecot is not closing connection which are not in use, is there any
setting available which can help me to resolve this issue.
I had much the same situation where a user signed up with a roaming
wireless carrier that assigned a new IP to the client whenever it got
passed from one access point to another. Good fun when this person
took a bus ride through the city, leaving orphaned connections in
its wake.
The IDLE disconnection timeout is hardwired in the Dovecot code
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Timeouts
It's set to the RFC minimum of 30min. You'll have to recompile Dovecot
to lower this to a non-RFC compliant value. I'm not sure how this this
will affect clients, but 30min seems to be overly generous.
