Thank you very much,
it's look so simple when you explain.

Hi

I allready have set 256 on max_user_instances , and in the log i keep
seeing
Mar 28 10:08:44 mail dovecot: imap(some.username): Warning: Inotify
instance limit for user 98 (UID vmail) exceeded, disabling. Increase
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances

Note that kernel only sees vmail as the user for everyone.

What can i do to resolve this issue ?

Increase it more!

service imap {
    process_limit = 2048

You can have a maximum of 2048 IMAP connections and every one of them
could be IDLEing and using one inotify instance. So set it to 2048.
