I've noticed this on occasion in Thunderbird...it seems that either the 
client isn't sending on occasion, or the server isn't acknowledging the 
connection on occasion...or the connection just gets hung up.  Usually 
restarting the mail client (which in turn tears down and restarts the 
imap connection) usually solves the problem.  I happens rarely enough 
that it's not really an issue for me.
