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.
Yes, that could be an explanation for the problem.
