After a plesk upgrade without error imap service did not start and found following in maillog:
“IMAP service was down there, it could not start with error
Aug 17 08:00:05 websvr imapd: Invalid -maxperip option.
Aug 17 08:00:05 websvr imapd-ssl: Invalid -maxperip option.”
The reason of the error was that MAXPERIP option was absent in /etc/courier-imap/imapd configuration file. I have added the missed line and restarted service. it works OK now.
