Dovecot limits both the total number of parallel connections and the
number of connections per user (or per client IP address, don't

Thunderbird uses.

It probably uses fewer connections.

General hint: please try to be more informative. "I tried something but
it didn't work" does not carry a lot of useful unformation.
