Webmail accessive Dovecot logins

Hello,

I've seen this issue before, running a imap/smtp/database server on
localhost and adding in a webmail interface, in this case Roundcube.

In my maillog I'm seeing accessive Dovecot connections and logouts
just from my own transaction of logging in, going to compose a
message, sending, and logging out.

I'm using Mysql as database backend and was wondering if there was
something I could do to cut down on the amount of connections needed?

I'm running 2.2.19 on a FreeBSD 10.2 system.

I'm not sure what other information to provide, here's the relevant
log and a doveconf -n.

Second question, in the doveconf -n there's reference to my ssl_cipher
am I  using current tls ciphers that support pfs?

Thanks.
Dave.
