Ubuntu - Courier-IMAP max connections

The maximum connections by default is 40 which is not enough in a small office who are using Thunderbird (as by default a Thunderbird client will occupy 5 connections) 8 accounts will occupy all.

It is possible to edit the following parameters and settings to a larger value.

MAXDAEMONS=40
MAXPERIP=40
 
Under Ubuntu, the settings can be found at /etc/courier/imapd.
Remember to restart the service to activate the new settings.
