I'm using Dovecot 1.0.7 in RHEL 5.4 64bits as a IMAP/POP3 server.
and stuff. After a while it times out and doesn't connect. Then the clients (e.g. outlook, thunderbird) start taking long to connect and then they timeout. Important: Only IMAP connections timeout! POP3 continues ok. This latency keeps on going until dovecot finally hangs (after about 10 to 15 minutes). The problem is solved when I restart/reload dovecot.
I had similiar problems once. The problem went away after I increased the maximum number of open file descriptors (ulimit -n).
Maybe, you should upgrade, v1.0 is pretty old.
