This is pretty easy to achieve with imap, some clients fork off a separate session. You can see this when you use a client, enter a folder then enter another folder before the first one is finished with its headers and so on. If from your workstation you "while true; do fetchmail --silent --keep; done" (or similar) and just grind a single mailbox with a single process does it sooner than later "stall" if you run two or more does it? I have "crash-tested" a few times maillooping the above over a few servers and it takes a long while to get impact from dovecot, especially if dovecot's lda is delivering the mail (and thus updating the indexes to be used by the pop/imap requests) Other people might be interested in auth mechanism, mail storage type and index locations. -- Gabriel Millerd
