No explanations jump to mind, but here are a couple of things I'd try
if I were facing this behavior:
- Run /sbin/ifconfig - are you seeing high counts of errors, dropped
packets, and such for that interface?
- Restart the interface:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restarts
(or whatever the particular device's init script is, if not eth0).
Are you using DHCP on the subnet? If so, did you restart your interface
after you restarted the router?

Some of these symptoms suggest problems when your client opens multiple
connections - the browser behavior is consistent with that, although
I wouldn't expect that for email protocols (unless you're accessing
Web-based email through a browser). That said, I'm not sure what to
do about it.
