*Wow* A single client that brings the server to it's knees, aksing only
for data of 2 IMAP accounts using a rather small line (even if you
consider it "ridiculously fast 'net connection" I'd guess it is a lot
lesser than 100MBit/s ;-) ).

If *I* were the responsible technician at your ISP I'd sink through
the floor into the basement, *ASK* you not to use TB! until we've
fixed that s***ing server and thank you for "producing" this problem,
because we now can see there's a wrongly dimensioned server answering
the requests, and we *now* have the chance to correct the setup
*without* loss of data. Some time later a few dozen or hundred people
might fetch the mail, not using TB!, but nevertheless cause heavy load
and maybe next time the server crashes and puts essential data to
/dev/null.

But I'm not responsible ... ;-)

Nevertheless: can you figure out what IMAP-server-software your ISP is
using? Maybe one can reproduce the problem if the exact software used
is known and can from there on optimize TB!s IMAP access ...
