Hi, Just wondering about a few things.
Occasionally I get timeouts connecting to the version 2.1.3 IMAP store. After looking at what was going on for a bit, it seemed like 1 imapd process is created for each mailbox. So I happily sat there doing 'ps' and looking at what was going on while I tried several different connection tests, waiting to see if anything obvious struck me as to why the thing would hang. Now, I thought originally that 1 imapd process was created for each access to a mailbox (I haven't got pre-forking on). But after a while it appeared this was obviously not the case because I got over 26 imapd processes after checking only 13 (ish) different mailboxes. Looking as the 'ps' output, I noticed they were all spawned by master - nothing odd about that - but the wchan for each was different: -------------------------------------------------WCHAN 000 S cyrus 21177 21169 0 69 0 - 5215 do_sel 17:13 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus 21220 21169 0 69 0 - 5230 interr 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus 21221 21169 0 69 0 - 5213 do_sel 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus 21222 21169 0 69 0 - 5215 do_sel 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus 21223 21169 0 69 0 - 5210 interr 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd -------------------------------------------------^ I have a feeling this isn't good? I could also be barking up the wrong tree - any other reasons for the hang when trying to fetch new mail? (Its not just Outlook - Eudora does it as well...) Thanks!
