I seem to have a similar issue: After a seemingly random time the sever disconnects after a successful login. I can telnet but after successful logins i get disconnected after a few seconds.
# telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost.

The problem is, I'm not using Gamin/FAM, nor can it be the MAXPERIP setting because telnet from localhost will also get disconnected.
