Too many open files

[Alain Spineux]

Maybe this is because your are accessing multiple mailbox through the same
and unique connection.
At each mailbox it should open some files related to the mailbox and never
close them !
The use is to connect to a unique mailbox and read mails and browse
subfolders, and then always use the same related files.

As a workaround you could try to logout and login before to switch mailbox.
