Why Dovecot hang on receiving the Quit command !!! and doesnot disconnect !! Please include your dovecot version. Also, does the list command end with a line that contains a period? You might want to include dovecot -n as well, which will show everyone what your mail storage type is and other relevant information. Jack

Below is the proper format you should see. The line with a period at the end is required to show that the list command has completed. If you do not get that, then the server hasn't successfully completed the list command to accept new commands. Check your logs for any mention of the connection and errors that might have generated. If you are using NFS, there are several issues with locking that can be problematic.
If you are getting the '.' line, then try other commands besides quit. It is important to determine if the code is ignoring input or if it has a problem with the actual quit code. Also, I notice you mentioned several hours. It would be useful to know if this occurs on startup or if it fails over time. It is also useful to know if it effects all accounts or just some of the active accounts. It is also useful to know if there are people currently logged in on those accounts when you perform your test.
