If I remember correctly, I made logs of the number of file descriptors of the "dovecot" process; each time the number _almost_ reached the max (say one or two are not allocated yet), I saw the stalls _and_ when I manually logged off users (kill -15 imap-process) the number did not decreased. Well, not much anyway.
Sort of, it looked like a fd leak.
If Dovecot runs out of file descriptors, it logs an error. So the most important part: Check if there are any errors in logs. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging
Well, I know it should, but it does not. Maybe it is something different.
I changed my init.d in July 2008, but unfortunately I do not find anything I posted in the mailinglist.
There is no sign in the logs, regardless of the auth_debug or mail_debug setting. A telnet to port 143 just hangs without any "connected".
However, this is Dovecot v1.0, so I see no reason to dig into it.
