One of the features of IMAP is that a single IMAP connection can point to a
single folder at a given time. IMO, one of the conveniences users will be
pleased to have is to be able to open the links to different folders in
different tabs of their browsers. So separate requests will be sent to the
webmail server and need to be handled in parallel by the webmail application.

IMO, it is possible to accomodate the backend to support accessing of
multiple folders in parallel by creating a separate IMAP client connection
for each folder with the same authentication parameters. Kindly give your
comments on whether this is advisable..
