Hi,
I'm using dovecot for the first time on a production server (before
dovecot I used bincimapd). I have a question about the number of imap
(not imap-login) processes created for a user. I've seen 100+
processes for just 1 user. So far it only occurs for 1 user, other
users have just 1 imap process. I now the user is using thunderbird
and 2 mailclients are logged in at the same time (one workstation and
one laptop). Is there an issue with dovecot/thunderbird?

All those processes are really slowing down the server.
