Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you know it's timing out? Could it just be slow, as it has to compile loads of messages in its first run? Looks like dovecot has a 30 minute timeout. [1] An old message on the Dovecot mailing list [2] suggests to set "verbose_proctitle = yes" in config to see why each process is open. It also suggests using high-performance mode, rather that the default. Stroller.
