Imap/pop3 not working correctly

Edit file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf and add directive process_limit with the amount of processes you want to use (by default the limit is 100) to service imap-login.

For example, if you want to raise the limit to 200:

service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
  }
  inet_listener imaps {
  }
  process_limit = 200
}

Don’t forget to restart dovecot after the change:

systemctl restart dovecot
