And what did you change when first time the timeouts occur? You must
have changed either on server side or client side.
Server side I do not remember changing anything. I checked my changelog
and there are no program installations or conf file changes.
Client Side, I applied the latest windows security updates with the
Cumulative Security Update for IE Service Pack 1 (KB867801)

express tells me about it, I tell it to stop and then the client download some more
messages.
And from a different client host?

Which wrapper service?
I remember that Courier had a daemon called couriertcp which called the
imap program each time someone logged on port 143. I just learning
dovecot and I am not sure if there is some sort of play like this for
the dovecot imap to work. I am still learning how it works. But at
least, I know that inside the server it is working fine because
Evolution does not have any problem. The problem is in the
communication between an external client and the server.
I already changed the client and the server, therefore whatever problem
is left should be on the link connecting them both.
