Some clients create too many simultaneous connections - look in the courier config for max connections per IP or something like that... increasing it will probably fix your problem - some clients (Outlook for example) can have 2 connections per account - so in a case where my busiest client has 10 computers and 2 accounts per computer - and up to 2 connections per account, I need to allow 40 connections per IP (well lets say 45 to leave a buffer) or they get connection errors.
