 I've adhered to the debugging process - honest guv.
Hello there,
Thanks for your reply. If you had read the rest of thread you'd see that all of the information has already been detailed and that I have been waiting for a response from the Zimbra crew.
I'd also like you to know that I REALLY wanted to get away from Exchange.
The clue is in my user name !
Yes, that WAS an older version of ZCS. On that site, ZCS was replaced with SBS2003 several months ago.
I'd be delighted if the IMAP issue has been resolved in later versions because it might make me more interested in re-visiting Zimbra.
The question remains: Has the IMAP issue been fixed where:
We have ZCS installed on Debian/Ubuntu with 4Gb RAM.
File handles for the OS has been bumped up to the recommended maximum as per ZCS instructions.
We are using IMAP proxy - as per instructions for this problem.
We have a years worth of IMAP mail in a mailbox.
We reinstall a user PC and reinstall Thunderbird.
We connect Thunderbird to the IMAP account.
Thunderbird starts syncing message headers.
Zimbra dies. (Messages in syslog about file handles)
OS has to be rebooted.
We're considering the idea of using the ZCS connector for Outlook but I'm concerned that the SOAP connector would ask for the entire mailbox and Java would open every single message file to get the header, run out of file handles and then die - which is what appears to be happening under IMAP.
Why aren't you using something like Dovecot for the message store ?
