Since you haven't enabled high-performance mode for imap-login processes and haven't otherwise changed the service imap-login settings, this means that you can have max. 1000 simultaneous IMAP SSL/TLS connections.
According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcessSince one login process can handle only one connection, the service's process_limit setting limits the number of users that can be logging in at the same time (defaults to default_process_limit=100).
I understood this as there can only be up to 100 (or 1000 in my case) concurrently trying to log in, but once the user logs, the imap-login process ends (starting corresponding imap processes) and another users could log in. So there could be more than 100 users connected, but up to 100 trying to connect. Am I wrong?
If I am wrong, why in my system there is no imap-login processes (or just a few) but a lot of imap?
