  With client clock debug, I can see notes client was trying to
  get DB_MODIFIED_TIME of the mail database.
  
  (55-1211 [86]) OPEN_DB(CN=D852/O=org!!mail\twb.nsf): (Connect
  to
  D852/org: 130 ms) (Exch names: 0 ms)(Authenticate: 2 ms.)
  (OPEN_SESSION: 1 ms)
  (Opened: REP882578A8:002BDF0C) 1 ms. [134+290=424]
  (56-1211 [87]) DB_MODIFIED_TIME: 0 ms. [14+68=82]
  (57-1211 [88]) CLOSE_DB(REP882578A8:002BDF0C): 0 ms. [14+0=14]
  
  However, I am not sure if this is as designed or not. Why we
  open new session even we already have a session exist.

  [039C:0006-0F4C] [0034] test wb/org (10) TCPIP:

                 10
  
  And why we check the database last modified time to alarm
  calendar items?
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Setup a Domino server and register a user
  2. Setup a Notes client, open the user's mail database , enable
  the "Enable the display of alarm notifications" in mail
  preference or set $EnableAlarms=1 in notes.ini. Set
  Client_Clock=1 and Console_Log_Enabled=1 in client notes.ini to
  get debug outputs.
  3. Open the mail database. You can then find on server console,
  the client open new session and close immediately every 10
  minutes.
