Configuration Settings

Edit any of the values on the Mailbox Locator Port Status panel and click Update Configuration.

Stale timeout
The number of seconds during which there can be no activity on a connection before that connection is removed.

For Mailbox Locator, the default stale timeout value for both POP3 and IMAP is 60. The default stale timeout value can also be set at the executor and cluster levels.

Weight bound
The weight bound for this port. The default value is 20 and can also be set at the executor and cluster level.

Maximum number of servers
The maximum number of servers for this port. The default value is 32 and can also be set at the executor and cluster levels.

Default sticky time
The sticky time for this port. Sticky time is used to create an affinity relationship between a client and a specific server. After the sticky time has been exceeded, the client may be sent to a server different from the previous. The default value is 0, meaning that the port is not sticky. Sticky time can also be set at the executor and cluster levels.

The IP address of the TCP server machine and weight (such as 10) of the currently active servers. Weights are applied to all servers on a port. Requests will be distributed between servers based on their weights relative to each other. For example, the server set to 10 should get twice as many requests as the server set to 5.

To remove a server, highlight the server in the list and click remove.
