IMAP Benchmark

A tool to generate IMAP traffic for pluto, Dovecot, and other IMAP services (like Gmail).

Traffic Generation

The major difference to previously introduced imap-evaluation is, that we now support IMAP Sessions. Sessions are sequences of IMAP commands that are executed consecutively. The commands are more or less reasonable.

For the moment we only focus on state-changing (i.e. write) commands like:

• CREATE
• DELETE
• APPEND
• STORE
• EXPUNGE

Setup

To install imap-benchmark, please run

$ go get -u github.com/go-pluto/benchmark

Modify the config file test-config.toml and the user data base userdb.passwd.

Usage

You can start benchmarking an IMAP service by running the imap-benchmark.go file.

$ go run imap-benchmark.go

Alternatively, you can provide paths for config file and userdb:

$ go run imap-benchmark.go --config /var/config.toml --userdb /var/private.passwd

Logging

All response times are collected in a log file underneath the results folder.
