That's interesting.  Seems to be 2 or 3 connections from my IP when I start
getting the errors.  Any way to fix this?  I would gladly switch to Mozilla
or something, except I sync my phone with Outlook.  Ideas?

When this starts happening use netstat to determine how many connections
Outlook has open.  The default configuration of Courier-IMAP accepts at most
four connections from the same IP address.  Brain-dead IMAP clients
sometimes like to open dozens of IMAP connections, for no good reason.
Courier will begin to refuse new IMAP connections that exceed the limit.
Outlook may be reacting to a dropped connection by prompting for a password,
and trying again.
