cyrus and Outlook subfolder crawling
Hi, I've got a problem with a Outlook 2010 client. The client is accessing a 10 GB cyrus imap account and crawling with high a frequency like crazy through each subfolders which fills the mail logfile and causes a noticeable higher load. This never stops unless the Outook client is closed. I'm not familiar with Outlook and to my mind this is not a cyrus problem, but does anybody know to say Outlook to stop this annoying behaviour.

If so, does doing so stop the mad crawl? Perhaps there is a folder, or more likely a message in a folder, that the Outlook client doesn't like - and it is then restarting its 'sync' over and over. Are Exchange extensions disabled? I've seen them cause various kinds of wierdness. Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced -> Options -> Add-In Manager -> Uncheck Exchange Extensions property. or Tools / Options / Other / Advanced Options / COM Add-Ins/ remove anything that isnt essential, (we remove everything) Those may not correspond to your version of Outlook. Although it may make matters much worse [temporarily] you might want to turn on telemetry for that user to see if there is a protocol error somewhere. But clients just walking folders shouldn't generally drive massive syslog traffic; perhaps you are logging mail at the DEBUG level? Don't do that, it is better to use telemetry logs selectively. -- Adam Tauno Williams Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus

Don't forget that 2010 will, by default, crawl the IMAP store and fetch a copy of all messages locally (instead of subj only), check the size of the local .pst file. The good part is that messages will be available off-line the bad part is that your local .pst file will be as large as the IMAP box; and it takes a lot of time to finish the process...
