There were serious problems for those using TB! IMAP with Courier IMAP servers. This Courier IMAP server compatibility mode option appeared during an active go at fixing the problems. > 2.

How often do you have TB! set to refresh folders? Refreshing folders checks and does a message count, but no sync'ing occurs. How often do you have TB! set to do periodic checking. Periodic checking and checking mail at startup actually results in sync'ing operations. If you have the above frequencies set to be too short, then TB! will very frequently have reason to be connected to the server? Finally, how do you sync your folders? If the sync'ing is too aggressive then TB! will spend a lot of time sync'ing folders. A suggestion: Since there's an issue with the number of concurrent connections allowed to the server, I'd set all folders for all accounts not to sync at all. However, you could for the moment leave periodic refreshing enabled. In the account propertes, go to mail management and enable all the options for auto-connecting to the server. What this setup does is make TB! connect and sync only when you've selected a folder. Only that folders headers are sync'd. When you select a message, the body is retrieved for reading. This setup will economize how connections are established so that you always have connections available for what you wish to do and not have TB!'s automated duties taking up all the connections. -- -= Allie =- .....
