NAME

       imapproxyd - IMAP proxy daemon

SYNOPSIS

       imapproxyd [ -f <config file name> ] [ -p <pidfile name> ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the imapproxyd command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       UP-ImapProxy proxies IMAP transactions between an IMAP client and an IMAP server.  The  general  idea  is
       that  the  client  should never know that it is not talking to the real IMAP server, but ImapProxy caches
       server connections.

       ImapProxy was written to  compensate  for  webmail  clients  that  are  unable   to  maintain  persistent
       connections  to  an  IMAP  server. Most webmail clients need to log in to an IMAP server for nearly every
       single transaction; This behaviour can cause tragic performance problems on the IMAP  server.   ImapProxy
       tries  to  deal  with  this  problem  by leaving server connections open for a short time after a webmail
       client logs out. When the webmail client connects again, ImapProxy will determine if there  is  a  cached
       connection available and reuse it if possible.

FILES

       By  default,  UP-ImapProxy  reads  /etc/imapproxy.conf  on  startup.  This can be changed by using the -f
       option

       Unless foreground_mode has been enabled, UP-ImapProxy will write its PID to to a PID-file. It defaults to
       /var/run/imapproxy.pid, but can be overridden with the -p option
