[SM-imapproxy] Can imap proxy be used to reduce/limit number of connections to backend mail server?

[Nathan N. <nn...@ne...>]

I'm finding that with a combination of multiple client devices that I'm more and more frequently hitting up against 
google's "maximum number of connections" limits. Thought was that maybe there would be a way to leverage imap proxy to 
do the reverse - take a bunch of attempted connections, and try to round-robin/LRU them in some way.

Even something as ugly as "limit conns to N, if a new connection came in, and last command on one of the other channels 
was IDLE, drop that connection and open new connection to backend server".

Obviously a full-on interleaving would be non-trivial.

Any ideas?
