Timo, I have the same problem with dovecot, I have to restart it sometimes, mostly each week or so. I'm using a script to automaticaly check if dovecot is responding and restart it if not, is there any information I could let the script grab from the system to help you fixing this problem?
What exactly does "isn't responding" mean? Does it accept a TCP connection? Does it send "Dovecot ready" message? Or doesn't it just authenticate? What operating system is this?
And when it's stuck:
Is there anything in logs? Can you list the used file descriptors by dovecot master process? What about getting a strace of the dovecot process? Or if it's auth problem, those things for dovecot-auth process. Do imap-login processes exist? What about straceing them?
