[Bug 801919] [NEW] Not able to access subfolder in imap account

[Jesusfreak]

Public bug reported:

I changed my email account from pop3 to imap today. In the inbox of the old  pop3-account there are a lot of subfolders. After creating the imap-account in thunderbird I started to copy all the subfolders from the pop3-inbox to the imap-inbox. Doing so I get an error message when trying to access the subfolder last copied to the imap-inbox. 
The error message is: "Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so use the Advanced IMAP-Server settings dialog to reduce the number of cached connections"
This happens after the copying process is finished, regardless of the size of the subfolder and happens everytime. The only way I have found to solve this problem is by restarting Thunderbird.
