There's hardly any traffic during that period.  Unfortunately it's a
bit hard to see what's going on over an https:// connection by looking
at tcpflow. :(

Of course you would need to turn off SSL. :-) So maybe set up a second
RC version (from SVN) and see if it behaves the same.

I've seen some issues too when you have plenty of folders, large
mailboxes - but I never ever had to restart Firefox. Sometimes there
is a little "hang" when the folders are scanned for unread but aside
from that, nothing major.
