We had:
IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT=0

(default from the Debian package, I believe). I'd assume this would
disable polling entirely, however running strace on the running process
apparently shows it stating files over and over - so it looks like it
may actually be checking every 0 seconds. This is with Courier imap
0.45. I believe it was compiled w/ FAM support, but FAM is not running
(famd crashes on our servers, when run from inetd at least, and tends to
jack up the load way too much).

Anyway, what kind of values do people set this to, and should setting it
to 0 disable imap entirely?

setting it to 30 seems to fix CPU usage problems and huge NFS spikes
we're seeing with certain IMAP clients.

IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE is set to 0.
