I have SSL setup, but I'm not specifically using it myself when I get the hangs.... I'll have to set the log up and post the results next time it happens..
Here's the config output though:

I'm experiencing timeouts from time to time from both Mac Mail and Outlook when connecting to my server. I originally suspected that it might be process # related, so I increased the auth & login process counts but that hasn't seemed to make a difference.
I'm running 1.0rc10 which came with my DirectAdmin control panel. I'm wondering if this problem is known and was fixed in a later release? I'm waiting for instructions from the DirectAdmin folks on building a new version in case they do something special.
Do you use SSL? It hangs before it can log in? What does Dovecot's logs show (set auth_verbose=yes)?
There's one bug related to that:
v1.0.rc15 2006-11-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> - Potential SSL hang fix at the beginning of the connection
And what do you use as passdb/userdb? Post the whole dovecot -n output?
