If anything, this sounds like a problem with your IMAP server. Your IMAP
client at home will (/should) have a completely independent session to
your IMAP client at work. I am happily running multiple mail checkers
and mail clients concurrently against my IMAP account (Cyrus 2.0.7) with
no problems.
I am experiencing fairly frequent hangs (and crashes) of the mail
component, but it doesn't appear to be related to my IMAP connection. I
guess that's down to using CVS stuff, though. I would report them as
bugs, but only one is readily reproducible, and I'd like to check it out
in gdb first.
