Just out of curiosity, what is your IMAP backend? e.g. LDAP, etc

Not sure I understand you there James.
I telnet-ed in to test Peter's theories below. But for good measure,
I just tried with openssl as a command too and that responds
immediately.
I just don't get it. One host behind the server/router is a MAC on
OSX with 4GB, another WinXP with 2GB. The WinXP host is by far the
worst. But irrespective the MAC is not exactly blindingly quick
either. (Both wired connections)

you can use openssl s_client in place of telnet to connect -
http://www.jaharmi.com/2007/09/26/using_openssl_securely_connect_your_imap_account
has a guide.
But for good measure Telnetted (and
Wiresharked) over both my SSL IMAP port and 25. Both responses
come back
PDQ. And Wireshark shows traffic moving from one host to the other
and
return. I'm pretty confident of my iptables setup as I have
refined that
over a period of years.

So, connexions to the (imap? smtp?) mail server time out. Can
you run
wireshark on the server, and see what's happening? Does the server
have a correct route to the clients?
If it's smtp, then try telnet from a client to the server (telnet
192.168.1.1 25) on the inside of the firewall, while watching top
on
the firewall. What does the load look like? Does the telnet
session
time out? During which part of the connexion?
