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. +.PP +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. +.BR +.SH FILES +By default, UP-ImapProxy reads /etc/imapproxy.conf on startup. +This can be changed by using the +.I -f +option +.PP +Unless foreground_mode has been enabled, UP-ImapProxy will write its PID to to +a PID-file.
