IMAP is responding very slow for a lot of users......

Note: This procedure is not neccessary as of Build192 as cPanel has disabled identd checking for IMAP completely. You should instead upgrade to the latest stable.

This is most likely due to CPIMAP still doing identd checks for IMAP users. This is bad for a lot of users since a lot of firewalls block identd checks, which means IMAP will hang for up to 20 seconds until it times out, to fix this is very easy however.

Firstly, use your favoite editor to edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/cpimap, currently it should look like this :

root@srv01 [/scripts]# more /etc/xinetd.d/cpimap
# default: off
# description: imapd
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
disable = no
}

Now, you will simply want to remove the two lines that start with log_on_*, make it look like this :

root@srv01 [/scripts]# more /etc/xinetd.d/cpimap
# default: off
# description: imapd
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
disable = no
}
root@srv01 [/scripts]#
