Increase number of IMAP connections

One of my users gets an error when connecting to the mailserver through IMAP using Thunderbird:

Unable to connect to your IMAP Server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server.

How can I increase the maximum number of connections to my IMAP Server? Haven't found anything within Plesk, is there a change to do so on the shell?

Try changing the MAXPERIP value (defaults to 4) in:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd
and
/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/pop3d

(actual path may be OS distro dependent, this post assumes RedHat like distro)

After making changes, remember to restart the courier-imap service.
