As I started tracing this, I found that an attempt to resolve the private IP address (192.168.10.11) of our mail server was being done by the imap server and this attempt was timing out. The private IP was NOT in the /etc/hosts file and we do not have our own DNS servers.
Yup, that's the sort of mysterious problem that can cause one to scratch one's head for quite a long while. In general, you should always have an /etc/hosts entry for the local site and not use the DNS for local lookups.
