So each process has one inotify instance with just two watches. I was under the impression that subfolders were also watched, but after testing a bit, it seems to not be true. Only the SELECTed box is watched, right? What confused me was that Thunderbird will show new messages in several folders, but I guess it must be using multiple connections, one per open folder. Is there some way to have clients watch all folders? Server-side filtering loses a bit of its value when you are not notified of the new mail. > I guess you're using a single UID for all users?
