The wiki says "By default each login process will handle only a single connection and afterwards kill itself." But it does look different to me.
The login process parents the session and dies at the end of the session.
But when connecting with Mozilla (Seamonkey)
Seamonkey creates multiple sessions
So it looks to me as the login processes don't get killed. Is this a client issue (but how could it keep the login alive?), is this a known bug in the older dovecot, or something unknown?
I think it is working as designed.
I see three logins, connect via thunderbird create a fourth, when I kill thunderbird, one of the original three dies.
Some servers have issues with how Mozilla works with multiple connections, but I don't think it is an issue for dovecot, and really shouldn't be an issue for any IMAP server.
