I just tested this in my Thunderbird 60.8.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with
an IMAP Gmail account.

With all 3 server settings enabled I was prompted 3 times to enter the
Master Password.

I changed the Gmail accounts Server Setting to not check for any
messages, quit and restarted TB. That reduced the Master Password prompt
to only once.

Set the setting to "Allow immediate server notifications when new
messages arrive", quit and restarted TB. Only got prompted once.

Disabled the above setting and enabled "Check for new messages at
startup", quit and restarted TB. Again only one prompt.

Added "Check for messages every 10 minutes" to the mix, quit and
restarted TB. Again only one prompt.

Enabled all 3 settings again, quit and restarted TB. This time I was
only prompted once.

My Gmail IMAP account has SSL/TLS connection security and OAuth2
authentication method.

I also have Google Calendars using the Provider for Google Calendars
extension, but that doesn't appear to trigger the prompt

Reporter, have you tried changing any of those settings in all of your
IMAP accounts and testing?
