Here an FYI of a problem I had recently. I doubt this is the same issue, but I'll write it up anyway for posterity.

I had a similar issue about a week ago when I updated some courier related packages.

The issue turned out to be some kind of problem with gamin. I switched from using gamin to fam and the problem went away. Gamin and fam are used in relation to the Enhanced IDLE functionality in Courier IMAP.

Ironically, I was using gamin because I had issues with fam a couple of years ago, switched, and had been happy since then. Maybe in a few years I'll switch back to gamin the next time fam gives me trouble.

The only indication of a problem was that occasionally, in my mail.err file, I would see something like;

Apr  8 09:03:41 myhostname imapd-ssl: FAMPending: timeout

Otherwise, there was almost no indication of a problem.

If you have gamin installed, look for a process running as your user, try killing it, and see if things magically start to work again. If so, that could be your problem.
