Definitely solved. I asked the most complainig users to test if it's
fixed and they say "yes".
The most affected client was horde/imp webmail.

Thanks again Timo.

Mmm.. I tried to comment out the "cork" part and added a 10% random
sleep after sending the command
if (!(rand()%9)) usleep(rand()%5000000);

and I started getting the famous "Error: IMAP(testdove): FETCH for
mailbox INBOX UID xxx got too little data: yyy vs zzz" instead.
