Re: How to monitor IMAP protocol?

Hello Mark

  -> James should output error logs. Be it logback for Guice or Log4J 
for spring
  -> Our arsenal also have awesome metrics integrated wit Prometheux 
stack (guice only) or in logs

For your case, have you tried some commands yourself in telnet? I 
suspect a connection problem, for instance firewall...

Best regards,

Benoit
