Description
-
ThreadTypes constants are used with Threads
property, and define behavior of wodImapServer when it
comes to creating worker thread for each connected user. By
default, no threads are created - all users work in same
thread as wodImapServer is. When you expect to receive many
concurrent connections at once, you should try to use one
of threading options instead.
When SafeThreads is selected,
worker threads are created, but when it comes to firing
events, main thread is notified about the event, and main
thread fires the event. This is a requirement in some
languages. For example, in Visual Basic it is a recommended
option. Speed increase should occur with this setting, but
still you should NOT put lengthy processing in events code,
since all users must wait to fire events until your
processing is completed.
Selecting FullThreads allows
wodImapServer to completely fire events from worker
threads. While this may not be safe in some environments,
it is suggested selection in NET environment, such as
VB.NET and C# languages. You can put any lengthy processing
inside events code, since you will block only one thread -
while other users are allowed to continue posting their
messages interrupted.
