imapd(8)
NAME
  imapd - Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server process

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/imapd

DESCRIPTION
  The IMAP4 server, imapd, accepts commands on its standard input and
  responds on its standard output.  It is normally invoked by the inetd(8)
  command.

  The imapd daemon reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(4)
  file.

  If you want to take the IMAP server off line for a period of time, you
  should notify the client system.  To do this, create a msg/shutdown file,
  edit it, and state the reason for the shut down.  When a client system
  tries to access the server, imapd shuts down the connection and sends the
  first line contained in the file to the client.

  For debugging purposes, create a log/user directory.	When this directory
  exists, the imapd daemon creates protocol telemetry logs for sessions
  authenticating as user.  The telemetry logs are stored in the log/user
  directory with the file name of the imapd process id.

  The msg/shutdown file and the log/user directory should be created under
  the directory specified in the configdirectory configuration option of the
  imapd.conf file.
