We have several folks in our office using Thunderbird as a client to connect to a shared Google Apps account. However, we are running into the simultaneous connection limit Google imposes on IMAP connections. <br>
<br>
Several websites describe how to get around this limit, e.g.<a href="http://www.thebusinesscookbook.com/too-many-simultaneous-connections-imap-gmail/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: initial; outline-style: none; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(25, 81, 144); text-decoration: none; ">http://www.thebusinesscookbook.com/to...</a> <br>
<br>
"This can be quickly achieved by changing the ”Right Click Account -> Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Advanced -> IMAP -> Maximum number of server connections to cache” setting." <br>
<br>
However, this appears to be the setting on Windows. On Mac, there is no "Advanced" under server settings, nor have I been able to find it by looking anywhere else, nor have I been unable to confirm via the Thunderbird support pages that the setting even exists
on Mac. <br>
<br>
Does the setting exist? Is there another way to set it "manually" (i.e. in the code)? Any help would be appreciated.</span>
