client is behaving in a really stupid way. There's no point in creating a
new connection for each mailbox.Well, speaking from the client's perspective, it makes perfect
sense to have five idling connections to five mailboxes that are expected to receive new mails rather than doing periodical STATUS polls on
them. No client should rely on such a behavior, though, and a lot of people
would probably say that it's insane to open 100 concurrent connections. I'd agree with them :)
100 concurrent connections I could still even understand, but the
above logs showed it has only one connection active at a time, it
just disconnects between checking mailboxes...
