I have that entry in my Mozilla and changing it does reflect Mozilla to 
use more or less than 5 imapd processes. Even if I set it to 50 cached 
connections (...and I can see that 50 imapd processes on the server...) 
the problem does not appear. I am using the debian woody mozilla build 
(that is 1.0.0 I think). I searched for the dialog box in which to set 
the cached connections but could not find it. So in this version the 
frontend for setting the max cached connections is missing but 
internally things seem to be already working and max_cached_connections 
is present in user.prefs and gets used propperly! I remember a Mozilla 
version in which one could set the max_cached_connection value per 
dialog box (a much more recent one) and cannot say if the problem exists 
there as well! I used Mozilla 1.3 on Windows for months without any 
problems and with check_all_imap_folders_for_new being set!

user_pref("mail.server.server1.max_cached_connections", 5);
