[Dovecot] Stale imap processes

[Michael Bond]

I read through the thread on Stale imap process and would like to  
chime in that I too am having the problem. The only imap user on the  
system is using Mail.app 2.1. The other users are using pop with  
thunderbird. After quiting mail.app and stopping dovecot I can still  
see many imap sessions opened. Over the course of the day a good  
number of imap process will be open and no one will be able to  
connect to the server via imap or pop. Typically I have to restart  
dovecot twice a day with the following:

/etc/init.d/dovecot stop
killall imap
/etc/init.d/dovecot start

I've narrowed it down to an imap issue. If i don't connect with imap  
the other users don't report any issues connecting with pop.

I'm using mbox as my mail format on centos 4. I know that the default  
version on centos4 is .99, but it appears that people are still  
having issues into 1.0rc2.

Could it have something to do with using mbox format?

Mike.
