That depends largely on the mailstore sitting behind your IMAP server. If 
it's an mbox, then you're not going to be able to have multiple clients 
accessing it at the same time. I'm betting that's what you'pre seeing. 
Thunderbird probably reopens the connection, but just doesn't tell you 
about it :)

However, if it's a maildir-type store, then concurrent access works just 
fine.

FWIW, I run cyrus imapd and it works great. I typically leave 3 or 4 pines 
open (two on my work machine, one at home) and a Thunderbird all the time 
and get no problems whatsoever.
