I don't know if this is the same problem:  I did a fresh net install of 
64 bit
Heisenbug Wednesday on my server.  After several hours thunderbird
could not could not fetch mail through Dovecot.  One or the other
had forgotten the required password.  I confirmed that the password
had not changed and restarted Dovecot to no avail.  Finally I rebooted
Heisenbug and all is well.
