[gentoo-user] Is there a way to increase the number of external (all imap) accounts in evolution?

[W.Kenworthy]

Evolution looks like it can handle only 5 external imap accounts plus
"local".  It attempts to use the extra account (I need 6), but tries to
disable one account (sometimes only partially succeeds) - often the one
I just added, but sometimes another.

Is there a way to increase the number of external (all imap) accounts?
The server end where the bulk of the accounts sit is courier-imap on
gentoo, the other is wu-imap on solaris (I think).  The client (two of)
are both on gentoo, remote to the imap servers.

Courier tends to run it's own daemons, whereas WU uses xinet.d, so for
that you'll need to check the settings for xinet.d.

Courier on the other hand can be set using it's configuration files. I
don't use it on Gentoo (I have it running on Fedora/CentOS for our web
servers atm), so I'm not sure if the configuration files have been
moved, but on there they're in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc. If you have
gentoolkit, run

# equery files courier-imap | grep "(imap|pop3)\.dist"

to see where they're located.

Thankyou, nicely caught.  The problem was courier-imapd, not evolution.
maxdaemons is set 40, but maxperip is only 4. Increasing that worked.
