dovecot - Jul 2009 - Possible fix to an old Thunderbird related problem

I think I might have finally fixed it. The problem was that the 
max_cached_connections in Thunderbird defaults to 25 and I had login 
process count set to 10. I think raising it to 25 ill fix it. Just 
posting this in case others are having this problem.

What was happening was that the message counts were increasing but the 
messages didn't show up in the list. Or messages would appear to be 
empty. Restarting Dovecot or restarting Thunderbird fixes the problem 
temporarily. I'm hoping this annoyance will go away now.

I spoke too soon. Thunderbird is still broken. And it's really frustrating.

I thought it defaulted to 5?

What about:

   #mail_max_userip_connections = 10

Missed that... you are correct it does (just confirmed with a new
profile/account setup)...
