IMAP and outlook 5$!&85!!

[Justin Bennett]

Your fireing it out of xinetd I assume. In the /etc/xinetd.conf what is
instances set for? You may be running out of imap processes. Just a
thought. I had this the default is something like 60, I have 70+ users.
See a problem. It took a while to become an issue cuz netscape only has
one imap at a time.. :) but at times there was over 60 active, and any new
requests to connect would get connection refused.
