Re: [Dovecot] Thunderbird problem

Brent Bloxam put forth on 6/29/2010 3:36 PM:

Thunderbird is a modern threaded application, users are able to perform many parallel actions. The IMAP protocol returns data for one action at a time, so in order to follow through with the user requests, it delegates commands to multiple connections. This may not be apparent when dealing with mail folders with few messages that have actions completing in a few seconds, but when dealing with large amounts of data the need for multiple connections becomes apparent (unless you're a patient person ;)

So you're saying that having multiple connections gives TBird more bandwidth to the server?
