STATUS

MORE INFORMATION
================
After you apply the fix, the counters are updated properly, although they are
still only updated every 10 minutes. Therefore, when an event occurs that meets
the criteria of a particular counter, it may take up to 10 minutes for the
counter to be updated in Performance Monitor.
Note that the Connection Count counter shows the number of client processes that
are currently connected to the information store. When a client connects to the
IMAP4, POP3, or NNTP port, or when a client connected to one of these ports
sends an invalid IMAP4, POP3, or NNTP command, the client does not connect to
the information store. The client only connects to the information store when it
sends a valid command.
