No longer necessary.

Would be better to limit to 0600 or 0660 if possible. What is using auth-master anyway? Most parts of Dovecot want to use auth-userdb. I can't actually even think of anything that wants auth-master..

Why override it here? You could set a global listen = *, [::] without having to specify it separately for imap/pop3.

Having client_limit larger than 1 for imap/pop3 services isn't well supported. Clients may see delays and you may see error messages in logs.

Managesieve intentionally isn't listening on IPv6?
