Well, the easy way:

$ ps aux
[...]
2529 user 19  -1 17996  408  404 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 /usr/bin/imapd ... 
32537 user  19  -1 17996  420  416 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 /usr/bin/imapd ... 
32541 user  19  -1 17996  408  404 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 /usr/bin/imapd ...
32542 user  19  -1 17996  408  404 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 /usr/bin/imapd ...
32561 user  19  -1 17996  400  396 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 /usr/bin/imapd ...
[...]


$ ps aux | grep "/usr/bin/imapd /home/user" | wc -l
4095


(I replaced the real user account by "user" and the Maildir path by "..." to 
get all into one line.)

Seems like couriertcpd can create new processes up to 4096. This matches the 
PAM-Limit for the root user (that started courier initially).

When a further IMAP login is requested, the error is
  setuid: Resource temporarily unavailable
