This looks like 4 separate sessions are created when I log in from one client.
Is this normal behavior? Can somebody please explain why this is so?
because Thunderbird wants to access 4 mailboxes simultaneously, e.g. to check or wait for new messages.
That would make sense.
But I have 5 mailboxes in total (Inbox, Sent, Draft, Archive, Trash). Although, I suspect Inbox has special status because it is not defined together with the other four in 15-mailboxes.conf
This is a client setting, so you have to ask the Thunderbird developers why they open that number of connections. Most of the time it is done to not block the UI on longer IMAP operations.
BTW this is configurable in Thunderbird:
Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Advanced->Maximum number of server connections to cache
Default is 5 IIRC. I find the Tbird UI is much more responsive if set to 1, for "normal" IMAP use.
