Ok, this is more an annoyance than anything else. I suspect I have something missing in my configuration for courier. Frequently while I have an imap session up it will disconnect at the server and leave the connection process up on the server.
There seems to be a problem with the current interpretation of IMAP connections. KMail 1.7.1 has problems because it establishes a connection and never closes it. When it attempts to do something over that connection after it has been closed by the server, it throws an error message instead of reconnecting.
I know this really doesn't address your problem, but you might try other clients to see if they close the connection properly. You also might try tweaking the "check mail" interval on TBird.
