These are probably obvious, but turn up logging to level 5 and see if dbmail-imapd prints anything. I believe there's a way to have postgres log queries that are being run too, but I don't remember how. If neither of those provide any hints, you'd probably have to run a debugger to trace the process. Also, you might record the imap traffic going over the wire... there's an off chance you could be getting hit by some as-yet previously unknown bug in the imap protocol handler or something (but probably look at that as more of a last resort).
