IMAP timeouts

Hi

I had problems with timeouts in IMAP. Everything was working fine with Outlook 2000, Courier-Imap and FC2 running the Courier-Imap.

Suddenly, now I get frequent timeouts.
No matter what client I use (outlook, outlook xpress, thunderbird, mozilla) I get timeouts after downloading around 20 headers. When Outlook express tells me about it, I tell it to stop and then the client download some more messages.

I thought It had to do with the mailserver and I switch courier for dovecot, but I get the same result 

I think maybe it is something with the wrappper service or something like that.

How canI troubleshoot this?
Not much info left on /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog.

Here is what Outlook expess sees
