1 HTTP request spawns one Catalyst request, and that Catalyst request
should connect and log in to the IMAP server, so requests should be able
to work in parallel as long as the GUI is able to handle them in
parallel too (and as long as your IMAP server lets you connect the same
user on different connections at the same time). Or are you sharing one
IMAP connection for all the app?

How are you running the server? (maybe you are running myapp_server
without the -f (fork) option? That would cause only one request to be
attendable at a time).
