It's not fixed. Now the limit looks to be around 500 processes and we start to get number of connections exceeded. Any ideas?

I fixed this issue about the process limit in the 10-master.conf file:
default_process_limit = 5000 default_client_limit = 30000

It looks like on the system that once we hit around 200 imap processes it stops there and no more imap processes can be created. Is there a number of max imap processes in the config file somewhere. By the way running on OmniOS:
SunOS mail2 5.11 omnios-6de5e81 i86pc i386 i86pc

Another problem is people are getting error message from their clients stating they have exceeded their number of connections.
mail_max_userip_connections = 50
well, how much folders do the have
keep in mind that fpr IDLE you have one connection per user and folder 10 users with 10 folders behind the same NAT router are 100 connections from the same IP
