[Dovecot] customizable idle login timeouts?
We're in the process of migrating from mbox over to maildir. I'm running into a problem with the proxy and timeouts. Appears the idle timeout is set to 60 seconds. This is a bit too low for some of our large mbox files :(
Any plans on adding the: #define CLIENT_LOGIN_IDLE_TIMEOUT 60 #define AUTH_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
to the .conf file to be tunable on the fly?
I ended up just patching the couple of files in question, but it'd be nice..

I grew these to 3 minutes for other reasons already. But the mbox
size shouldn't matter here. The OK reply to login command should come
before the mailbox is even opened, and after login those values don't
matter anymore. So what are you doing in your backend servers? :)

Yeah, I saw those changes in CVS. Guess my custom 3.5 minute timeout patches will be obsolete with the next RC.
Basically we have our backend servers doing copying from the mbox to a pop file for message retrieval. With a couple of users having a mbox file > 500MB the timeouts were causing them pain. This and other things were killing my I/O on my backend servers. Fortunately, I'm migrating them (and everybody else) to maildir, so the 3min timeout should be more than ample for them. :)
Thanks again.
