Hi,

Dovecot Wiki states that mail process (IMAP/POP3) is able to handle multiple 
client connections as the same time to save CPU and memory resources 
(client_limit > 1). Although this approach is not recommended due to latency 
and probably security issues, it does help increase the overall capacity of a 
mail server. Is it possible (or planned) to add a feature such that mail client 
connections of the same user from a same IP are directed to a same mail 
process? In most cases, such connections come from a same mail client (e.g. in 
Thunderbird, each mailbox is a connection). The end user (human being) can work 
on one mailbox at a time, the latency will be non-obvious. And since all data 
being processed belong to the same user, security is a non-issue.

Thanks,
