From the logs :

tail -100 /var/log/dovecot/dovecot | more :

.........
Jul 06 13:51:20 dovecot: Warning: All login processes are in use. You may need to increase login_max_processes_count

.........

Should I just go ahead and increase login_max_processes_count ?
Is it that simple ?

Just asking for your feedback and experience chaps.

Thank you in advance,

Spyros
