during peak times here are the results for connections

Thare are user counts, not connections. Ae a user can launch multiple IMAP connections, and if they have some MaxOSX reader, that can peak to several dozens during searches.
This counts connections
doveadm who | awk '/imap/{m+=$2}/pop3/{n+=$2}END{print m,n}'Or you can parse the output of netstat.
I'm suprised you have so many POP3 connections though -- they tend to be connect/process/disconnect. n=0 most of the time on my modest server.
