That is precisely what I do not want to do.  There is no point in 
generating useless log messages, and it should be possible to turn these 
messages off.

They are usually somewhat harmless, though.  When there are thousands or 
millions of them generated, it might indicate that there is some issue 
that needs to be fixed.  Not all imaps processes create so many 
messages.  In this sense, the messages are not useless.

But what might cause so many of these messages to be generated within a 
short time, all day long?
