I was just informed that the DNS servers we use (from a local ISP,
charm.net) crashed earlier this week -- about the time this
problem started. They were back up quickly, but could something
have happened there that would cause this?

That is quite odd. A 50% packet loss is bad, but that could just be
the
routers dropping the packets intentionally (they drop the
tracert/ping ICMP
packets before standard standard traffic). I'm stumped -- I can't
think of
any reason why it would be so slow when IMail connects, but not
be when you
connect via telnet.
