I have a Dovecot/Postfix/MariaDB on a Centos, just have a user ask me:
------------------
I recently upgraded my Thunderbird email client and have experienced
problems since.
It appears that when Tbird polls for new messages it gets held up
waiting for a response from the server
I'm using POP port 995.
Any ideas as to why I'm having a problem ?
-------------------
how to investigate such issue ?
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
# dovecot --version
2.3.11.3 (502c39af9)
