This is pretty easy to achieve with imap, some clients fork off a
separate session. You can see this when you use a client, enter a
folder then enter another folder before the first one is finished with
its headers and so on.

If from your workstation you "while true; do fetchmail --silent
--keep; done" (or similar) and just grind a single mailbox with a
single process does it sooner than later "stall" if you run two or
more does it?

I have "crash-tested" a few times maillooping the above over a few
servers and it takes a long while to get impact from dovecot,
especially if dovecot's lda is delivering the mail (and thus updating
the indexes to be used by the pop/imap requests)

Other people might be interested in auth mechanism, mail storage type
and index locations.
