i using roundcube with dovecot, i have a question if there is possible to know the number of users that using the mail system (in other word the online users)
no - how do you imagine that?
- roundcube is a web-application
- HTTP is stateless
- so there are no permanent connections
It is possible as Roundcube does have its own session management, which you could maybe hook into
first: why do you respond off-list?
second: any of such magic is outside of dovecots scope
and from security point of view you don't want user-login-sessions dealing with other users session infos and any smart session-backend is doing what it can to prevent from such a breach

first: I did respond on list as well as directly to you.
second: There is nothing wrong with expanding roundcube to print a list of online based users. This may be just as easy as printing a certain database table of active sessions. Yes, there are security concerns but of course these need to be dealt with properly.
third: Yes, it's outside Dovecot's scope, hence the Roundcube sugestion.

with a second message while i was already responding that's even more bad than reply-all on mailing-lists

which never can be a real number, it's just a random one which maybe or maybe not come close to the reality
third: Yes, it's outside Dovecot's scope, hence the Roundcube sugestion
and that's why it is the wrong mailing-list from the first moment on
