I encountered this error on FreeBSD 9.3 with dovecot2-2.2.13_3
Short version; vsz_limit is 18,447 PB and it ran out of RAM. Suggestions for change?

Check the message again - it says vsz_limit=256MB
Yes, I saw that…. I can’t explain why I didn’t question the rest of the output.
Background: I’m in the only user on this system, but this server is accessed by my phone, my laptop, my tablet, and perhaps a web interface.
But there are some interesting values when I look at the output of doveconf. Specifically, vsz_limit is 18,447 PB… yeah, that’s pretty big.
service imap-login { vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B }
According to your log it was process “im ap" what ran out of memory. You are showing configuration for imap-login - they are not the same thing, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/Processes
My errror, sorry. OK, here’s imap:
service imap { chroot = client_limit = 1 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = imap extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 privileged_group = process_limit = 1024 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = imap service_count = 1 type = unix_listener login/imap { group = mode = 0666 user = } user = vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B }
Still the same value… why not 265MB?
Not sure if this behaviour is a bug or something that is to be expected when you run out of VSZ limit in imap process - that needs to be answered by someone more knowledgeable
It seems quite common:
