OK, sounds like you're using an ancient Dovecot v0.99. That may be the reason why you're experiencing timeouts. Upgrading to at least v1.0.0 would probably solve your problem.

I have turned on debugging per your recommendation. However My version of dovecot (how do I tell what version?) only Has auth_debug=yes (mail_debug=yes is not in my conf file).
Also /usr/sbin/dovecot -n comes back with unknown arugment: -n

Show your dovecot -n output
Show Dovecot's logs around the time when the timeout happens.
Otherwise it's just guessing.

Hi Timo,
This is a linux server running sendmail. Dovecot does work on this machine. But sometimes We get that error. I stop sendmail, stop dovecot, remove a few logs from the bounceback Account and it works again for a while. I'm just getting this error on the bounceback Account. I think it is happening when the account get too big or has too many records. I Was thinking I need to adjust some timeout value or something??
Thx for your help. I'm a little lost on this one.

Does anyone know what causes this error and how to fix this
What IMAP client/device is this? Does Dovecot work elsewhere?
Set auth_debug=yes and mail_debug=yes and look at what the logs show when logging in. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging
