Hello,
The issue of dovecot becoming unresponsive happened again but after 16 days instead of just 7 as before.
$uptime 09:53:01 up 16 days, 20:23, 1 user, load average: 1.32, 1.01, 0.83
As advised before I tried to login through the IMAP port. Entering an incorrect password gets rejected right away. Entering a correct password just hangs indefinitely.

After a restart of dovecot everything works fine:
systemctl restart dovecot.service
Thanks in advance.
