If you don't have fam setup to automatically notify clients of new mail,
Mail.app will poll to look for new messages. It makes a separate IMAP
connection for each folder [1]. So check your IMAPDAEMONS setting
in /etc/courier/imapd (100 was recommended for 25 clients).
Another factor is the max # of authdaemons. I'm pretty sure each IMAP
connection generates an authentication request. If the clients
obsessively check for new mail, you may need to increase the number of
authdaemons you allow courier to startup.
