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.

Hmm, based on the messages in test.txt, it appears that something is
configured incorrectly with dovecot. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough
with dovecot to know which setting is causing the security problem.

What I'm guessing is happening is that each attempt to open a mailbox is
causing a socket to be created, and after 1024 have been reached, you get
that error. I have a strong suspicion that if you can get that "insecure
server advertised AUTH/PLAIN" to go away, then this other issue would
disappear as well. Possibly there's an incompatibility between the c-client
and dovecot's auth schemes? Perhaps one or both needs to be recompiled with
SSL support?
