This is true of course but it doesn't help solve the problem.  Any
suggestions as to how to improve performance or mitigate the problem?

I've considered hacking so moves are a little less safe (just renames) -
I'm not entirely sure why they aren't already.  (Shared folders?) But
it brings up another issue to.  Courier has no way of limiting
connections by user and while it wouldn't stop the problem, preventing
a user from opening 10-20 connection and limiting them to a more
reasonable number would help.
