[Akonadi] [Bug 316840] imap resource starts crazy connect / disconnect cycle to mail server

--- Comment #44 from Morten Lind <morten at lind.dyndns.dk> ---
It seems that requiring my courier daemon to force starttls solves the issue
with hanging connection. In /etc/courier/imapd-ssl I now use
IMAP_TLS_REQUIRED=1, while still running SSL and allowing TLS.

Before, I never saw the following LOGOUT entries in my imap log:

Oct 29 12:54:20 <host> imapd-ssl: LOGOUT, user=<user>, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1],
headers=0, body=0, rcvd=13, sent=86, time=0, starttls=1

Now, all LOGIN entries are followed by such LOGOUT entries, and after observing
for some hours without any high-frequency CONNECT-DISCONNECTED entries, I think
I can claim that this solved the problem. 

I attempted this inspired by the comment from Guillaume Castagnino 2013-07-30
18:20:36 UTC. However, as indicated by Ariel Garcia 2013-09-13 20:09:24 UTC,
this only solves the problem for IMAP-servers under our own control.
