Well, this question has no good answer because:
1. It depends on the average mail size, which depens on your user
demographics. AND on the expectation of said users... imap goes
over TCP, which unless you did seriously deranged things, will
adequate itself to whatever BW you have... but keep in mind that
the usual timeout for IMAP replies is 1 minute (because of
Microshaft Outcrook* products).
2. It depends on MUA profile, some like to connect to the IMAP server
using two or even more concurrent connections, and often do
selects and lists on both connections.
3. If you use webmail clients, either install a caching imap proxy
locally in the same box as the webmail client, or watch it open,
do major BW-hog stuff and tear down connections to the imap server
every time the user causes a new web page to be displayed on
the webmail client. Webmail clients without caching proxies are
EVIL.
