Besides, I often see several imap-login processes for the same remote IP address. Does it means the user has several instances of his UA running or is it the behavior of some UA (Eudora ? Thunderbird ?) even if only one instance is run by the user. In any case, wouldn't that be dead-lock/stale lock prone ?
Some IMAP clients do open multiple connections in parallell. For example, the default for Thunderbird is up to a maximum of five connections. You can set this inside Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Advanced and looking for "Maximum number of server connections to cache."
