works fine with many users accessing the same maildir about 20
maildirs in a low spec server. Hundreds of folders per maildir with
some of them having up to 30000 emails

With outlook express I have some problems now and then that get fixed
by doing a "clear local cache" on OE. Only once had a problem with
thunderbird (started constantly complaining that it could not save the
email it just sent to the INBOX folder while at the same time it HAD
saved it). Worked around this annoyance and didn't try to fix it

The main gotcha with Courier, is that by default it only allows 4
connections per IP, but T-bird tries to make 5. You can fix that in
either place (probably the server if you have lots of users).
