Thunderbird and "Login to server failed".

Hi,
I'm using cyrus-imapd (now 2.4.x) and Thunderbird. The problem is, when
I click fast on the e-mails, I often get the "Login to server foo.bar
failed" (when I click like one -email per 3 seconds everything is fine).
My password is okay, so I just press "Cancel". I live with this problem
for a really long time, and I can say the this is specific to the TB: it
doesn't happen in Outlook. I've read a lot about this, and, besides the
mailbox being improperly configured and failing authrization 100% of the
time (which is not my case), there's an urban legend that TB uses by
default 5 concurrent connections to the IMAP server (and this part is
true), while cyrus permits less. But the thing is, even with 1 connecton
configured in TB (in advanced settings), I still get this error when
clicking messages fast. No errors are logged on the cyrus side, just the
normal log stating that I was allowed to examine my mailbox.
Is there any way to get rid of these boring messages ?
Cyrus ML may not be the correct place to ask for this, but BT/Mozilla
community just gives me futile answers like "are you sure you type your
passwords right" and so on.
Thanks.
Eugene.
