The IMAP4 Monitor tests an IMAP4 mail server's ability to accept incoming sessions and its responsiveness.
The IMAP4 Monitor connects to the specified IMAP4 mail server and waits for the mail server to indicate if it is available, then safely disconnects from the server (ensuring that it adheres to the IMAP4 protocol). If the mail server indicates that it is unavailable, ipMonitor considers a failure to have occurred.
This Monitor:
- Considers the specified resource unavailable after a specified number of seconds.
- Persistently tests the resource at specified intervals.
- Disallows testing during a maintenance period.
- Waits for a specified number of failures to occur before starting alerts.
- Switches testing intervals, from "responding correctly" to "not responding correctly". Configurable intervals allow you to test more or less aggressively in the event of failure.
- Stops alerting after a specified number of alerts.
- Has a placeholder for a WinNT Service Name or any other information required by a recovery script.
