I had similar issues with IMAP (for 2-3 hours) when I tried to move to IMAP on a whim, and then, discretion being the better part of valor, moved right back to POP3.

I am pretty certain that I was not using IMAP correctly, but decided to stick to POP3 because it served my needs. I leave e-mail on the server because I pull it from several places, and then I use rsync between the machines to keep all my local mails in sync. Serves my needs well and I am pretty happy about it.

Best wishes,
