i use netscape 4.7 mail and pine with my work's mail machine. we run courier imapd and qmail; the messages are in Maildir format, and we use 'dot' subfolders (ie INBOX is Maildir; a sub of that would be Maildir/.sub1/ and a sub of that would be Maildir/.sub1/.subs_sub). I have no problems checking my inbox mail, but I get a 'connection refused' subsequently. Obviously this may be a server side problem (ie number of max connections) as I can't telnet to port 993 at that time either (i'm using SSL IMAP over stunnel). My guess is that when opening moz subfolders, it's somehow trying to open a new connection while keeping the old connection active.... I don't know if that qualifies as a bug or not, but it might be something to check out. Netscape 4.76 seems to work fine, and even when i'm getting the connection refused error on moz, netscape will continue to work if i have an open connection (and yeah i've tried closing netscape and killing the imapd procs and then checking my mail in mozilla again; after checking a couple folders i get a 'connection refused' error again. I know that Netscape used to hvae some wonky behaviour with Courier... here are the server settings; # Maximum number of IMAP servers started # MAXDAEMONS=40 # # Maximum number of connections to accept from the same IP address MAXPERIP=4 so it looks like 4 connections per ip address are allowed at once. Does mozilla try to keep a connection open for each directory?
Oh - and I'm running Mozilla 9.1 from the freebsd port on freebsd 4.3 stable. guess that might be pertinent info :> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE i386; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010701 <developer build> And if the question isn't clear enough (it's early in the morning) the problem I'm having is with Mozilla; not with Netscape 4.7
