Exactly and even 9 imap processes for one user isn't that bad. If most 
of our users use around 5 processess it's not exceptionnel to have have 
20 processes for one user. We have users who check their mail on their 
smartphones and on their desktop, some of those have around 80 imap 
process just for them...
