[Dovecot] Too many imap connections in state "idling"

[3.listas@adminlinux.com.br]

Thanks Steffen Kaiser ! I think not. The server is currently always 60% 
of imap processes in state "idling".

IDLE processes are like this:
root at server:/root# ps aux |grep imap
dovemail    617  0.0  0.0  23136  2260 ?        S    Dec15   0:01 
dovecot/imap [Username1 IP1  IDLE]
dovemail    677  0.0  0.0  23104  2172 ?        S    Dec15   0:01 
dovecot/imap [Username2 IP2 IDLE]
...

My "idling" processes are seen as follows:
root at server:~#  ps aux |grep imap |grep idling
dovemail   1141  0.0  0.0  16836  2148 ?        D    Dec15   0:01 
dovecot/imap [idling]
dovemail   3375  0.0  0.0  16828  2120 ?        D    15:48   0:00 
dovecot/imap [idling]
dovemail   4833  0.0  0.0  16828  2212 ?        D    15:49   0:00 
dovecot/imap [idling]
...

Thanks!
