[Dovecot] stopping dovecot

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz]

This may be a silly question but how to correctly stop dovecot and be sure 
that it's possible to start it again?

kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` doesn't work well.

I have imap-login processes staying arround and occupying port which leads to 
Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 993) failed: Address already in use
when trying to start again 2s after stopping.
