To phrase it differently: The user's MUA has a built-in limit (or not) how 
many connection it opens to the IMAP server simultaneously.

Dunno about recent changes in IMAP, but for each watched folder to get the 
"New Message" indicator you used to need one connection (IDLE); plus one 
connection you work with activly.

However, Dovecot can limit the connections:

   # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP 
address.
   # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively.
   #mail_max_userip_connections = 10
