VMPro, FreeBSD, standard install via script. I set up clients and copied old mailboxes into accounts from an old swebmin/sendmail server using the copy-mailbox.pl script. Works like a champ.
But... one client had 12 mailboxes. All 12 tranfered into the user's Maildir, but usermin can only read the first 8. When I try to access any of the last 4, I get this error message (in red of all things)
An error occurred listing mail in this folder : Failed to login to POP3 server : Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded
If I delete one of the first 8 boxes, then one of the last 4 becomes available. I've adjusted the dovecot settings of max logins per user from 3 to 10, but that had no effect.
User cannot access email and is whining at me. Any suggestions?
thanks.... Steve

Sounds like you have hit a limit in Dovecot on the number of concurrent connections.
The fix is to edit your dovecot.conf file and change the
mail_max_userip_connectionsline to :mail_max_userip_connections = 100This may be commented out by default- if so, un-comment it.
Then restart Dovecot.

I actually tried that already, but I put the line in the pop3 section like the dovecot manual says. When I moved it to the top of the config file it worked as expected - all accounts are now being read.
Thanks....
BTW... there was no existing version of the line in the dovecot config file - commented out or otherwise. You may want to adjust teh default install to allow something more than the default 3 IP connections per user.

Ok, at the top-level would work .. or you could put it in the IMAP section.
