There was about 50-70 processes for every user with deinit at the end and
in file:
Dec  9 16:53:10 host1 dovecot: imap-login: Error: read(imap) failed: Remote
closed connection (destination service { process_limit } reached?)

Why there was about 50 dovecot imap processes per user with deinit status
and what could have caused this ?

Resterting of dovecot proccess solved problem.
