Anyone have any suggestions?  :(

Compile courier-imap with:

--without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw

In my experience, authdaemon has been the culprit.

I dont know if this is what you need, according to previous posts. 
Oh, well...

I had a simular problem a while ago. I use qmail-1.03, vpopmail 5.2.1
with mysql as backend. I have --default-domain=domain1.com as option for
my configure script for vpopmail.
All users which were using the default domain, logging in with just 
username as username, never noticed any problems, _but_ user on my
virtual domains, loging in with [EMAIL PROTECTED] had problem
after a while, depending on the serverload.

After hours, spent on reading mailinglists and various google results, I
figured out that configuring courier-imap like this, skipping any other
autentication module, except from vchkpw, solved the problem;

./configure --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs \
--disable-root-check \
--without-authpam \
--without-authldap \
--without-authpwd \
--without-authmysql \
--without-authpgsql \
--without-authshadow \
--without-authuserdb \
--without-authcustom \
--without-authcram \
--without-authdaemon \
--with-authvchkpw \
--with-ssl

Good luck!
