Recently I was experiencing some slowness with emails so I login into my hosting (Siteground) and to my horror I noticed the "running processes" was way over the limit. On Thunderbird I have the "maximum number of server connections to cache" to 1 and all was running smooth until a few days ago. Now I have multiple connections. Is there a new bug on thunderbird? What can I do? HELP!

These are the settings I've had and haven't had a problem with the hosting or server until now, Thunderbird is creating multiple connections to the server.

Is this on a Mac? They are notorious for opening multiple connections and hogging all the bandwidth. :-(

Yes is Mac, but it has been working fine since May until now with the settings I mentioned above, and it was always just one connection per email, now I count 10 per email! Is totally out of control >_<

I first thought it was the new update from TB but I checked on my other computer using 31.7 and it's the same problem.
