Hello Frederico,

Which protocol do the client use? Both POP? Both IMAP? Or POP and IMAP?
Don't you see anything in the logs related to those "broken  
connections"? And how are those failures shown by the clients?
On what kind of storage are the mailboxes stored?
And could you show us the output of dovecot -n?
