Re: Too many open files

Maybe this is because your are accessing multiple mailbox through the same and unique connection.
At each mailbox it should open some files related to the mailbox and never close them !
The use is to connect to a unique mailbox and read mails and browse subfolders, and then always use the same related files.

As a workaround you could try to logout and login before to switch mailbox.

We (Rob Banz and I) are seeing the same thing on Solaris 10 x86. We
started our mass mail migration this past monday and a number of user
migrations have failed due to the same error.

We haven't found the cause yet, but to get around it for now we
cranked up the per-process FD limit and limited the number of
requests a imapd is allowed to handle. It looks like a file
descriptor leak of some sort. So far that has been a decent work-around.
