Limit Number of IMAP connections to Mail Server ...?

Greetings,

My host is complaining that Mail's IMAP opens too many connections (and keeps them open too long)... which is causing some issues on the hosting end.

Is there any way to limit the amount of connections Mail makes?

IMAP-IDLE is already turned off on all the accounts.
