Is there another setting I have to change to enable multiple connections per imap/pop3 process in dovecot-2.0, or does it just not work yet? I tried changing client_limit=5 but that had no effect. (I suggest that master.conf needs more documentation.) Thanks.

It currently requires that all users have the same uid and gid. If you want the same process to handle multiple uids/gids, you pretty much have to run it as root that just temporarily drops privileges and that seems a bit dangerous to me.
