Does it

My various attempts to quit both of these sessions showed the
following in the log:
Mar 28 20:48:03 mail-web-server dovecot[227]: imap-login:
Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts):
rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
Mar 28 20:48:26 mail-web-server dovecot[227]: pop3-login: Aborted
login (no auth attempts): rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
The above does seem like Dovecot is running properly. But when
checking mail via my mail client (OS X, Mail.app, POP account), the
connection attempts for about 30 seconds, then aborts. Likewise,
trying an IMAP login via webmail (RoundCube) fails after about 15
seconds. Nothing in the log from either of these attempts.
This was following a server reboot. Stopping dovecot, enabled debug,
and restarting dovecot restored normal operation. Rebooting again
with debug still enabled continued to work normally.
