Yes. I think I found the issue: some imap-login processes wouldn't
die, after I kill -9'ed them, I got:

Dec 30 09:05:33 postamt dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now

Dec 30 09:05:33 postamt dovecot: Fatal: imap-login: epoll_create(): Too many open files
... kill -9 ...
Dec 30 09:06:33 postamt dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling

Now the errors are gone.
