[Dovecot] hanging imap... and users getting other users' emails!

I've just switched to ldap.

But, when this problem was occurring (don't know if it is still), it was 
set up with userdb = passwd, and passwd = pam. But, our passwd only has 
none of our users in it (I don't really understand the use of this in 
the PAM context).

What mail-settings do you mean?

It's breaking randomly, yes.

login_preocess_per_connection is commented out. What is the default? 
I'll change this to "yes" now.
