I've heard of Sieve, but although I've been managing Internet mail systems since the very early 90s, I have yet to actually encounter a site that actually uses it. At least, so far as I know -- maybe they use it and I don't know about it.

I do. Heavily. That's the reason i'd like MM to handle many* open (IDLE) connections well, but MM keeps crashing on me. Daily, no, hourly :(

That is certainly not acceptable. I can see that you have allowed MailMate to send 6 crash reports with r4132 (and that's out of 8 reported in total by ~130 users using r4132).

After taking a look at these crash reports I'm pretty sure that at least 5 of those 6 crashes are related to MailMate running out of so-called file descriptors. In other words, MailMate cannot handle such a large number of IDLE connections within system limits (and fails to handle it gracefully).

I really hope those crashes will be under control someday...

I'll note that I should look into making MailMate handle file descriptor limits more gracefully.
