A client have following set up -
Dedicated CentOS 6.x server running Postfix + Dovecot 2.0.9 in some data center.
5-6 Windows 10 client computers with latest Thunderbird (IMAP)
Some Windows 7 client computers with latest Thunderbird (IMAP)
Windows 7 computers have no any problem accessing the email server or problems are very rare.
All Windows 10 computers have problems accessing the emails. Sometimes it works, sometimes - it doesn't.
Often error is something like "can not save email in sent/draft folder. Try again?".
Issue appear on both SSL (port 993) and plain text connections (port 143) .
Today, during one of these errors, I was able to install telnet client and was able to connect to the IMAP server, however I did not try to login there.
I also noticed, that on the server netstat reporting 100+ connections from office IP to the mail server.
On this specific Windows 10 client, I noticed windows' netstat reports about 10 connections to the server as well.
On the server's log file I do not see anything strange.
More or less something like this:
May 23 13:09:45 mail2 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, mpid=18391, TLS

May 23 13:09:37 mail2 dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=38530/851
The only additional settings in dovecot.conf file are:
mail_max_userip_connections = 1500
service imap {
process_limit = 2048
}
I can provide full config but is nothing unusual.
