Hello,

I have some doubts about max_mail_process option on dovecot.conf. When I set to 3, only 2 clients can be logged in at the same time. when I set it to 2, only 1 clients can be logged in. Why is the maximum number of concurrent clients is always 1 less than max_mail_process?

I can't reproduce this. If I set it to 2, I can create two connections. Are you sure your clients just didn't create two connections?

Is any other process is also counted as mail_process other than imap and pop3?

Only imap and pop3 are counted.
