[Dovecot] 487 imap-login processes - is this ok

[Noel Butler]

Older versions of dovecot (all of v1) can under some circumstances
screwup and leave hung login processes, this more often than not occurs
if you have network issues, requiring a restart of dovecot to clear
them. Timo has apparently, IIRC, worked around this for v2.x and it
should not happen.
