Can't connect with Thunderbird

Hi, I have the following settings:

Vesta 0.9.8-15.
Debian 8

I have all set on Vesta and everything seems to work just fine. I added users to VestaCP and websites.

I have a strange problem with emails. I created an email account for on domain and I succesfully set my Thunderbird for that account. But when I add a second account (with the same domain) I can't get the correct settings on Thunderbird, and the previous account that worked just fine before, now stop working. Thunderbird just shows a "Can't connect to [email protected]".

Webmail works fine all the time.

It's weird.

It seems a Thunderbird issue or maybe a firewall issue. When I add my email account to a email client like Thunderbird or on my phone. I can't access to that email accounts from anywhere.

I don't know if I get blocked when the email client try to get the right settings for the mail account.

If I wait 10 minutes, I can try again, and everything works just fine. But it is very annoying.

-- EDIT --

Ok, I've discovered the problem. It was with dovecot. I checked the logs and I was getting:

dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded

So I edited the dovecot.conf to increase this number and everything seems to work just fine.

Thanks!

Code: Select all

dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded
So I edited the dovecot.conf to increase this number and everything seems to work just fine.
