Yes. You still do not know why the first process (imapd) is dying.
At this point I'm not exactly sure it is dying.
Well, I'm pretty sure it IS dying. I've seen ${configdir}/proc being filled up with dead process files. I've made a cleanup procedure, but only as a remedy. See below.
Am I wrong in blaming the MS OE?
It is possible, but imapd should not dump because of a poorly behaving mail client.
I have found how to avoid this, if not the cause for it. If we go to Tools -> Accounts -> "Our IMAP account" and DESELECT "Include this account when receiving or synchronizing", all is well. If it is selected, Cyrus gets killed sometimes 100 times/hour from one account.
I'm glad that I have found a general remedy, but the matter is still open for investigation. I'll keep you posted.
