 I had to set MAXPERIP=5 in /etc/courier/imapd (on a Debian 3.0 server). Otherwise Courier-IMAP defaults to allow only 4 connections per IMAP client and that causes Thunderbird (and Netscape Messenger, IIRC) to stop responding. -- ~FrEd 
 -- This is actually configured within the mail client (Thunderbird, Netscape Messenger, Mozilla Mail, etc). Go to the Account Settings, then Server Settings, press the 'Advanced' button, and there is field for 'Maximum number of server connections to cache', which is set to 5 by default. -- DanielLawson 
  
 !! Slow File Picker 
-Firefox 1.5 comes with a GTK2 file picker that is very slow. You may see a large delay when starting a download or using "Save Image As" or "Save Link As". The delay increases if there are many files in the target directory, and KDE users may see more delay than GNOME users. Until this is fixed , you can recover the old file picker using the instructions [ here. | http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1783468#1783468 ] Unfortunately this change will usually have to be reapplied after each Firefox update.  
+Linux Firefox comes with a GTK2 file picker that is very slow. You may see a large delay when starting a download or using "Save Image As" or "Save Link As". The delay increases if there are many files in the target directory, and KDE users may see more delay than GNOME users. The GTK2 file picker also selects the target file name , so you cannot middle click to paste previously selected text into the name. You can recover the built-in XUL file picker. For Firefox 2 and above, type "about:config" into the URL and find the preference called ui.allow_platform_file_picker. Double click on the preference to change the value to false.
