April,

Show us your imapd settings from the config.

Looks like you should lower TIMEOUT to something like 60 or 120. At worst the
php-imap layer will have to reconnect, but that is much better that having lots
of processes that are timing out on badly behaving clients. People just don't
log-out from webmail sessions, so your TIMEOUT should be real tight.

If TIMEOUT is already low, but processes still linger in a connected state, we
may have a bug. I fixed some locking problems in the process pool code today
that lead to strange behaviour in the preforking code.

So, you may also want to give the svn snapshot a try. But since 2.0.5 is just
about ready to roll, you might as well wait a day or.
