You'll have to test this for yourself, given your own server, database,
user load, email size, and other configuration parameters. DBMail is NOT a
one-size-fits-all system; it scales, but you have to help it scale.
Do you mean that it depends on the CPU that I run the IMAP server on?
Does the DBMail IMAP server comes with the database?

We're single-threaded, so it's processes that we use. The numbers for each
of your questions is configurable. You can specify a minimum number of
processes, a maximum number of processes, and a maximum number of idle
processes. The child processes are stopped and started to fit these
parameters.

Is it possible to have multiple connections to the same mailbox at the same
time?
Yes.
