The problem is that half the company is on another site and connects
through their ADSL router which masquerades the IP address.
MAXDAEMONS=4000 is a bit over the top, I admit, but MAXPERIP needs to be
big enough to potentially let the whole company come in on one IP - we
might have a company meeting there...

Troels' post, and the link within to Mozilla's bugzilla, suggests there
is a known problem with IMAP servers timing the connection out in under
29 minutes, which T-bird doesn't like. If there's an easy config to
change the timeout in Courier-IMAP then I might use that, otherwise I'll
recommend waiting for a new release.
