Why such an old version of courier-imap?

What are you using for authentication?

Is there a job that runs sometime between 5 and 8 that would be locking
your auth system and preventing authentication? Am I guessing wildly? :-)

What is your peak using for webmail activity? It's a long shot but
courier-imap could simply be refusing additinal logins from your webmail
server. Courier-imap limit the number of simultanious connections (to 4 by
default). This isn't usually an issue with webmail because the connections
are so short.
