Hi,

What is the real difference between client and process limit? According
to documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#Service_limits):

client_limit: Maximum number of simultaneous client connections. If set
to 0, default_client_limit is used instead.
process_limit: Maximum number of processes that can exist for this
service. If set to 0, default_process_limit is used instead.

But what does "client connection" exactly means? Is a user (login)? Is a
user opens a few TCP connections (as many clients do) are they count as
different connections?

        Sorry, it's friday, my mind is on the weekend :-(

I understand that client_limit is how many connections (imap connections, for example) could be handle by one dovecot process, so if I have client_limit=2 and process_limit=1024, then I could 2048 concurrent connections, right?
