[cpx] WebMail imap bug?

[Bill Meier <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A client was using CPX WebMail (VPS3). I suspect he checked his mail, 
did a few things, etc. He exited the control panel. However, there 
are still repeated imap requests being generated from someplace, and 
in addition, he is unable to POP his mail box using MS Outlook 
express at home. I do not have the specific error yet. Nothing 
changed with his email configuration, other than using CPX.

Note a cluster of 3 login/logouts, and then a 30-60 pause (about) and 
another cluster...

If these are happening this frequently, I assume he might not be able 
to POP his mail box because it appears busy? ...

In any case, he has excited CPX completely, and I'm sure these 
requests are not coming from him... He's on a dialup and doesn't 
check mail that often, and doesn't run Outlook checking every N minutes...

First, what's going on with CPX?

Second, how can I fix it?

I used a big hammer and rebooted the server... the imapd checks are 
gone, and I'm waiting for him to try and POP his mail...

Any thoughts?

Bill
