able to reload the imapd.conf file for imap processes without impacting
currently connected subscribers.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

another approach would be possible.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

could block new connections for one process at a time and when all connections
were drained off, restart it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
