Re: Disconnecting users from mailbox (due to a password change, for instance)

Good morning, 

Thank you so much for your answer. For avoid new logins we can just
modify the user auth database, for avoiding, you know, new logins. 

The problem is, how to disconnect appropriately an already connected
user which for instance, gets connected with IDLE or whatever way of
keeping connection alive. Does user_deny.db handle, already logged in
users too or just new logins?. The issue we are suffering is with
already logged users. 

Thanks a lot again :) :) . Any help very appreciated. 

Cheers!!

It's like, if something  important would become locked... some important database or similar, by that killed processes that obviously as have become killed, won't unlock that hypothetical important database. Have you ever seen a behavior like the commented?.
