I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/
when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there
are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to
reproduce the problem:
1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle
When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/
and moves them over fine.
When I truss the process, I see it only running stat calls on my "mbox-
snarf" file. To get new messages I issue DONE, CLOSE, and SELECT INBOX.
I'm not sure why it is reporting alpha5 two lines below. I did an hg
pull just the other day and see 1.2.beta1 in the output of hg tags.
# /usr/ladmin2/sbin/dovecot -n
# 1.2.alpha5: /usr/ladmin2/etc/dovecot.conf
Warning: fd limit 2000 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full
load (more than 4224). Either grow the limit or change
login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings
