How to control how many connections Thunderbird for Android can do with the IMAP server?
Sometimes I got a problem with Gmail where I get the error "Too many simultaneous connections", both desktop and Android. I found that Gmail servers support 15 connections. I could reduce the number of connections for desktop in the config editor, but I would like how to do that in the Android app. Some times it creates a lot of connections, and I think the numbers stack up together with dead connection when I reboot my router and get a new IP, so I'm wondering how to set to get just one or two simultaneous connections on Android.

There's no setting within the app to limit the number of connections.
If your question relates to connections established to maintain a folders push notifications, you can find relevant settings under settings > account > fetching mail > advanced.
- Max folders to check with push
- Refresh idle connection
A server connection is maintained for each folder the push service is enabled on. Reducing the number of push enabled folders or limiting the max number allowed may help reduce the connections.
