Adolph, What version of IMail? (looks like V6.x from your header info) Are you using internal, NT or external DB (I bet it is the last)?
This symptom was not uncommon back in V5/6 days and newer versions have fixed the trouble (the single connection to external DB appeared to be broken, so IMail could not check the database and authenticate users) and allows for multiple connections. If using external DB, you should check the DB log files to see if it shows any errors. If this is only now (2+ years running OK!) happening to your IMail system, I wonder what recently changed? Maybe something that was installed or otherwise modified, is affecting IMail's and/or the database operations? Upgrade IMail. No one using V7 or higher has reported this problem, that I can recall.
