The problem is that half the company is on another site and connects through their ADSL router which masquerades the IP address. MAXDAEMONS=4000 is a bit over the top, I admit, but MAXPERIP needs to be big enough to potentially let the whole company come in on one IP - we might have a company meeting there...

It's not the standard MAXPERIP problem - MAXDAEMONS=4000 and MAXPERIP=100, and have done for a long time.
I only have about 10 users total, and only the guys connecting by ADSL get any trouble. Their T-bird settings all say 5 (as usual), but still the Sent folder is causing problems.
Thunderbird still seems to be the least bad client, but I'm looking around for options (especially for Windoze)
using those values for TEN users? wow... But I've been running courier versions back into the early 40's and never have had another speck of trouble with Thunderbird (back to 0.7) since increasing the MAXPERIP (mine's at 50). I support about a dozen users on my system, and I've set up one for a jewelry school in SF the same way (with about 20 users)... nary a problem there either.
Troels' post, and the link within to Mozilla's bugzilla, suggests there is a known problem with IMAP servers timing the connection out in under 29 minutes, which T-bird doesn't like. If there's an easy config to change the timeout in Courier-IMAP then I might use that, otherwise I'll recommend waiting for a new release.
