How do I disable IDLE here… (/etc/courier-imap/imapd)

IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 AUTH=CRAM-SHA256 AUTH=PLAIN IDLE"

Hi Pagemakers,

to remove this "IDLE" setting, just leave out the part and restart COURIER-IMAP:

Before:

IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 AUTH=CRAM-SHA256 AUTH=PLAIN IDLE"

After:

IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 AUTH=CRAM-SHA256 AUTH=PLAIN"

Be informed, that you could as well raise the "MAXDAEMONS" setting in "../courier-imap/imapd", even if that might increase your server load a bit
( I think that you want to change your IDLE - settings, because you might experience COURIER-IMAP running out of daemons, due to several all-time connected clients?! )

Thank you. It appears to be a problem with iOS devices only.

I now this appears in 2 places…
##NAME: IMAP_CAPABILITY:2
##NAME: IMAP_CAPABILITY_ORIG:2

I’ve changed it in both

Is there a command to see how many current IMAP connections my server has?

Hi Pagemakers,

to check you network connections, you might use "lsof" for example. Usage is : lsof -i [protocol][:service|port] ( Please read the manual for more informations for "lsof" ). A standard command would be for example:

lsof -i TCP:993​

Be aware, that we don't know, HOW you configured your server, so we don't know, WHICH ports are used for which service on your server.

Thank you
