This looks like 4 separate sessions are created when I log in from one

Is this normal behavior?
Can somebody please explain why this is so?

because Thunderbird wants to access 4 mailboxes simultaneously, e.g. to
check or wait for new messages.

That would make sense.

But I have 5 mailboxes in total (Inbox, Sent, Draft, Archive, Trash).
Although, I suspect Inbox has special status because it is not defined
together with the other four in 15-mailboxes.conf

This is a client setting, so you have to ask the Thunderbird developers why they open that number of connections. Most of the time it is done to not block the UI on longer IMAP operations.
