I have an imaps server (running courier-imap-ssl) and several folders within an
account. Everytime i click on 4/5 folders one after another, it eventually (and
randomly) loses connection and times out. Interestingly, you can still browse
the INBOX but no longer access any folder. There is nothing in the imap/mail
logs on the server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. log on to an imap server (ssl)
2. click on several folders
3. watch it timeout

Actual Results:  
can no longer access folders

Expected Results:  
still being able to browse them

As instructed in the troubleshooting section for IMAP on Mozilla's website, i
created a logfile of the connection which shows what is going wrong.

your courier server is limited to 4 simultaneous connections, and by default,
Mozilla will keep five connections alive. You can either change your IMAP
Courier server configuration to allow more connections, or change the Mozilla
imap server advanced server settings to only cache 4 connections instead of five.

Nice one, i got the clients to be set  to 4, that fixes it nicely.

Nothing in Mozilla was broken or fixed.
