but Mac clients (Thunderbird, Mozilla, Mail.app) all exhibit the same behavior - they can check and send mail, but I end up with a single, rogue child imap process on the server that pins the cpu that i have to 'kill -9' to clear out.
A friend of mine who runs dovecot 0.99.10.2 on freebsd/alpha (from ports, thus the low version number) just reported this same symptom to me. Apparently, dovecot runs fine for a few days, and then an imap process hogs 100% cpu and has to be killed I'll see if I can get a ktrace from it.
Is this a Mac problem or a Dovecot problem? I'm not even sure what to look for in the logs...
Remarkably, he too is using a Mac OSX client - mulberry, though.
We'll see soon enough, I think.
Good luck hunting the bug,
