I am seeing a problem where users are limited to 6 imap logins total. One of my users has a bunch of phones and computers, and wants them all on at the same time.
I'm looking through my configuration, and I cannot see a limit on how many times a single user can connect. He is connecting from different IPs.
Any ideas? My logs show the following error when they attempt to auth for a 7th time:
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=111.yy.zz.xx, lip=81.209.183.113, TLS
This means that the client simply didn't try to log in. If Dovecot reaches some kind of a limit, it logs about that. If there isn't anything else logged, I don't think the problem is in Dovecot itself.
Can you reproduce this yourself by logging in with e.g. telnet?
