one connection needs one process
for imap: one folder = one connection = one process

if you limit it connections may be refused

however, here a snippet from my dbmail-conf out of an
archive because my last touch with dbmail2 was a year
ago and you have MAXCHILDREN params for each service

dbmail2 has zero future, not in development, not in support
because over the long you will not find people using it
and last but not least for security updates
