Hello, I'm a bit afraid of users, the might slow down the server because of search requests to the imap-server on very large mailboxes. Even with a performant index, this could cause a lot of cpu and i/o-load. Is it possible to include the login-name in the imap process, so that a "ps ax" doesn't just give "imap", but e.g. "imap test at example.com"? Maybe it's of general interest to see in the title at which stage an imap-process is working. Regards Marten

I've thought about it before too, but since it's not safe with Linux I haven't bothered. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
