Hi Tom, The setting mail_max_userip_connections is per IP. from 20-imap.conf (version 2.0.13, the version we are running) # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. #mail_max_userip_connections = 10 I am going to assume he has a different IP for each device, in this case that would allow up to 30 connections. You need to post your 'doveconf -n' output! Cheers, Paul
