Need assistance with setting up generic email accounts

Hi Charles,
the problem may be related to the bounds of dovecot user and IP connections.

You can check the IMAP connections for each user with this command: doveadm who
Verify in /var/log/imap if you find a message like this:

Xxxxxx dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user + IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections = 12): user = <mail@domain.com>, method = PLAIN, rip = 127.0.0.1, lip = 127.0.0.1, secured, Session =<zz/8iz1M1AB/AAAB>

In this case, you can solve this by increasing this limit (default = 12) with these two commands:

config setprop dovecot MaxUserConnectionsPerIp 20
signal-event nethserver-mail-server-update

It seems that WebTop 5 uses an excessive number of IMAP connections per user, especially when sharing entire accounts.

I’m investigating the real motive :unamused:
