Was running dovecot-1.0.rc2 but many stale imap processes (only one user of IMAP).
Switched to dovecot-1.0.rc6 but problem continued.
I don't really understand this problem.. Is this user using SSL? What if you try the attached patch, does it change anything?
No ssl as far as I know. (I tried to explain in my previous email: no imaps in protocols and not using stunnel for imaps for over week. Also the end user said stopped using imaps over a week ago to make sure that was not the problem.)
I didn't try the patch yet as it looks to be for SSL only.
For one user over past couple hours I have eight imap processes in "I" state.
Could you get process traces and gdb backtraces from them? See http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#hangs
