See if there exists any "imap" processes. But I think this is a bad  
idea. IMAP clients in general tend to be connected as long as the  
client is opened. I've had an IMAP connection be open for weeks.

Dovecot has shutdown_clients setting. If you set it to "no" and you  
kill dovecot, the imap processes keep on running. Would this work for  
you instead?
