It shouldn't die. Maybe your client kills the connection? I tested this by making the stat() call always fail with EIO: x select inbox x NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-10-06 04:24:48] x status foo (messages) x NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-10-06 04:24:58] Or even if the mailbox is successfully opened and after that: x noop * NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-10-06 04:27:31] x OK NOOP completed.
