Hi,

You need to first upgrade to the latest version 6.87 from the link below to eliminate problems in the 6.5 your running.

Enterprise: http://www.mailenable.com/Enterprise687.exe
Enterprise Premium: http://www.mailenable.com/Premium687.exe

Hi, I am experiencing the same issue. Running PREMIUM 8.5.

IMAP hangs after a while and service shows as running. Then manually restart the IMAP service and all IMAP clients can connect again.


Note: I believe OP means 8.5 instead of 6.5.

Hi,

Well if 8.50 then it would be ideal lodging a support ticket and providing the following details when you lodge the ticket:

1. IMAP activity and debug log files. You may want to set the IMAP debug log to a higher level of debug logging so that it will provide information as to what the service is doing at the time of the problem. Information on how to enable higher level debug logging for the MailEnable services can be found within the following article: http://www.mailenable.com/kb/viewarticl ... 020585.htm. Specify details of the date/times the unresponsive occurs.

2. Details of how may concurrent connections are connected to the IMAP service at the time of the problem. You can gain this information by inspecting the "Metray" utility under the "Real time activity" tab within the IMAP section.

3. Windows task manager information about the IMAP process. I.e. Memory usage at the time of the problem.

4. Any Windows event log errors that are logged in regards to the MailEnable and the IMAP Service at the time of the problem.

5. RDP or a Teamviewer session so a technician can login at the time of the problem to troubleshoot the problem live on server.

You need to first upgrade to 8.60 and retest as 8.50 is outdated and contains issues you need to address.

We are experiencing the same issue. I am running Enterprise Premium 8.60 on a 2012 r2 server. Is there a resolution in the works for this ?

Please lodge a support ticket via our support form for a managed response to your problem with IMAP. In your ticket please provide IMAP activity and debug log files and RDP or TeamViewer access to the server so the technician can troubleshoot in more detail.

Just letting you know. I am also experiencing this error. On two occasions in the last week it has caused a full system crash requiring a power cycle of the server. I upgraded to 8.60 yesterday morning however the issue remains. I will also be lodging a support ticket and I eagerly await a working solution as daily service interruption is not acceptable.

I had same issue, I did everything for solution.
I reinstalled, reconfigured, checked all hardware defect etc..

And I started to monitor realtime activity, and I make a list from online users when IMAP service hangs. I figure out when IMAP crash I had same user everytime, I checked his mailbox and I see that there is about 15 folder in inbox at server side, but about 13 in Outlook Imap folders. I deleted all mailboxes, and I recreate than IMAP crash never happened.

I told this to Ian from mailenable, but they said that its not related.

We have the same issue in our ME Ent cluster, frequent IMAP crashing, missing emails that come back after a period of time yet can be seen in webmail the whole time, IMAP just stops responding, and only fixes so far are rebooting all the servers in the ME cluster and we are running the latest version of ME, 8.60.

Same problem here with ME 8.6 Enterprise Windows Server 2008. IMAP restart fixes the problem.

I've used to telnet to check while it's hanging and I can connect locally.

IMAP debug log shows only this repeatedly: 11/13/15 09:34:16 [4788] Send failed (error 10053). Size 8192

I had about 190 IMAP connections at last hang using 7 of 8 GB of RAM.
