Summary:                    IMAP client fails with:  IMAP Error: Unable to
create selectable TCP socket (1024 >= 1024)
Description: 
Trying to set Asterisk to use IMAP as mail storage using Dovecot as the
server fails with the above error.

After Asterisk starts all works ok; however, after a few minutes the above
error is given and then voicemail cannot access the messages store.

A fragment from the log is attached.

After a long time (hard to take down a production system) I had success
with IMAP. The above error has been dismissed after using imap2007k instead
of a previous version.

One new caveat: If a user is defined on Asterisk but not on the IMAP
server, Asterisk starts working very slowly; CPU is free, but Asterisk is
delaying every action, sometimes up to tens of seconds.

And another possible future problem: Asterisk ceates a separate IMAP
connection for each user. Today I have a few dosens of them; what will
happen when I have thousands of users?

                             Thanks! __Yehavi:
