[Dovecot] Phone cannot receive mail suddenly

[Robin Atwood]

Starting at midnight Feb 1 my phone can no longer fetch mail from Dovecot. It 
endlessly connects and reconnects as you can see in the log below. I have 
restarted dovecot, the phone, deleted /home/robinmail/mail, all to no avail. 
I have turned on debug output but it does not tell me anymore. I can connect 
and see the folder using the KMail imap client. Any idea how I can proceed 
with this? The phone is 192.168.1.57 (LAN) or 202.91.19.194 (GPRS) and 
Dovecot and KMail are on 192.168.1.2.
