1) Increase the number of connections in /etc/my.cnf (the MySQL Config file). example:
max_connections=300 (300 to 1000 might be a good working range) I run mine at 1000. The default number of MySQL connections without a configuration directive is much to low. The DbMail imap daemon connections are sleeping connections and do not bloat resources but are of benefit in responding to client requests in a hurry. best...
