That was the first thing I tried, I lowered the cache connections in Thunderbird. Actually the max connections was 50, not 500, but I could see why as I do have a lot of folders, but what is odd is I have other mailboxes that have even more folders, but it's only one mailbox that is trowing the error.
"# ps -axww | grep imap" does not give me the same results -
.....
19897 ? S 0:00 dovecot/imap 19900 ? S 0:02 dovecot/imap 19901 ? S 0:00 dovecot/imap 19902 ? S 0:00 dovecot/imap .....
I wish it did give me the mailbox, is there a option to get it to give me that information?
Try "auxw" on your "ps". I.e., add in the "u" which will get you the user detail in the first column, otherwise you just get the process id.
Thank you! That worked, I piped the output to a file, grep the username and sure enough there are 60 lines. So I guess going over 50 was a possibility.
Learn something new every day. I set the maximum to 100 so I should not have any errors on that anymore.
Rather than simply upping the limit I think a reasonable question to ask is why/how they are managing to do that. That's a lot of open folders.
By the way, the single command:
ps auxw | grep imap | cut -d" " -f1 | sort | uniq -c
will get you a nice list with the users and their connection counts.
