I am currently running dovecot 0.99.10p2 on OpenBSD-3.4-snapshot. It has been very stable, but I have recently noticed that I am having problems when checking IMAP-SSL mail with Mac OS X clients. There are not problems using Mozilla or Outlook on Windows, 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.
Is this a Mac problem or a Dovecot problem? I'm not even sure what to look for in the logs...
Hmm. Check with ktrace what the imap process is doing and send the log to me? (I'm not exactly sure how ktrace worked, it was a bit weird.) And maybe check with gdb too where it's stuck at (gdb /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap <pid> and "bt" command). Or is it imap process or imap-login process?
Anyway, I haven't noticed problems with Mail.app.
