What OS is Courier on? We're still on RH 7.3 here, and I disabled IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE several months ago because of response time issues - nothing consistent, but it was quite noticable over WAN connections. It's much improved since then, and none of the users said anything about no longer having real-time mail notification. Most of them are Outlook, but I noticed a difference with KMail too (which is odd because, as noted earlier, KMail doesn't even implement IDLE. FAM's days in Linux distro's seem to be numbered anyway. A Google for "groups:courier-users gamin" shows what road is being taken. http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/ > Secondly, does anyone know how to tell fam NOT to monitor every mounted > filesystem.

From what I recall, it should monitor only what the FAM client (imapd) requests, ie. the maildir Inbox. If it's going elsewhere, something else may be borked. jerry ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
