I too am seeing some oddness that looks a lot like this - occasionally a 
mailbox especially the Trash with lots of items in it, will hang indefinitely, 
and more often with TB (trunk) my Drafts are not being cleaned out reliably 
(TB uses APPEND to do some of the processing of Drafts).

I'm fully up to date with CVS, and this problem is relatively recent. 
Unfortunately it's not 100% reproduceable.

I can't help wondering if this recent patch is part of the problem:

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2005-June/004448.html

then again it apparently solves the fact that append is totally broken, so 
maybe reverting it isn't such a clever idea anyway ;)

Also seems that dovecot.org NNTP is down at the moment?
