[Dovecot] mail_max_userip_connections
What is the appropriate setting for mail_max_userip_connections ?
My POP3 connections seem to be mostly 1 at a time, but my IMAP connections are often 3 per user per IP. Is this appropriate? If I change the IMAP setting to mail_max_userip_connections=1 will it break things for the user?
I am trying to improve this situation:
ps auxwww | grep "imap " | wc 237 3080 22400
TIA,

Right, there's rarely need for more.

Thunderbird by default can use 5 connections I think.

Probably.

What's the problem with that? Are you running out of memory? v2.0 adds initial support for handling multiple connections in one process.
