Bloody hell! A dell powredge with so much RAM and HDD can't cater to 300 users?
What kind of imap daemon are you running?
Suggestions - do a top to see system load and check what's causing load
If IMAP, see if your users have several MB of junk (fw:fw: screensavers etc)
Have them clear their inboxes .....
Then switch to a stable imap daemon like cyrus or courier instead of uw-imapd
(which I think is what you are running - that's the default with redhat etc)
