Sam's reply was as follows (but since he used encryption w/o providing the
key, you may have missed it):

By mailboxes I presume you are referring to IMAP folders. I doubt that you
are logging in to ten different IMAP accounts.

The default Courier-IMAP server configuration permits a maximum of five
simultaneous connections from the same IP address.

It appears that your mail client opens a separate connection for each IMAP
folder. The server refuses to accept any more connections, after the first
five, and then your mail client vomits all over itself.

Either increase the maximum number of allowed simultaneous connections, in
the server's configuration file, or switch to a different mail client that
implements IMAP properly.
