ThunderBird will start with only one IMAP connection for INBOX, it will then open a new connection for each folder you click on and open until "max client cache" number is reached at which point it will start recycling connections. Many users have only the standard INBOX, Trash, and Sent folders which means they'll never face the connection limit. Even if you have more folders which your account apparently does, how often do you work with more than 5 folders in a single TB session? Thunderbird really should not make more than 2 or 3 IMAP connections by default, 5 is a complete waste of resources. It should also not be as ignorant as to believe it can make as many connections to the IMAP server as it would like and the IMAP server isn't ever going to limit it, instead of returning a hard error on the 5th imap connection, it should just recycle on e of the other four and continue happily along. Unfortunately it doesn't appear either of these issues is resolved in the upcoming 1.5 release. Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
