I've reproduced the problem yesterday and verified that indeed c-client 
will open a new connection if one is re-mail_open'ing an allready 
open stream.

This is very weird to me.

I've tried to connect against a cyrus-1.5.3 server. What servers are you 
other people using?

Has anybody verified the problem against the current libc-client (2004)? 
Does the same problem still occur?

Jonas, I'm Cc:ing you here since the problem report might ring a bell with 
you or possbibly you are following libc-client development upstream and 
know what has happened there, i.e. if the above bug/behaveour/"feature" 
has been fixed...
