The error apparently is in opening folders. I can see in the folder

the list of old messages is visible. In fact, the old messages are

still go through folders that are already open and see messages (even
very old messages), but I cannot open folders that hadn't already been
seen.
Sounds like a connection-related problem. Icedove wants to use multiple
connections. Perhaps the above happens either because it can't create a
new connection or one of the existing connections hang? By default
Dovecot limits users to 10 connections from same IP, is Icedove perhaps
trying to use more that that? It's configurable.
Thanks for responding. Yes, the limit was 10, and since this is my primary
client machine having the trouble it could easily be the problem. One note,
though, the machine running dovecot is my secondary email reading machine, and
from it I typically read from a much larger set of folders. I only recall once
noticing anything funny happening as I read email, but I cannot recall whether
it failed in the same way as the 64-bit machine fails.
I've upped the IMAP count, and we shall see what happens. The failures seem to
happen multiple times per day, so tomorrow I should have more to report.
