When this happens you could see what strace -p <pid of some imap-login process> shows. Does it show that some syscall (poll/epoll) is going on (Dovecot is listening ok), or does it not print anything (Dovecot is hanging somewhere, do gdb -p <pid>, bt full and paste the results). If strace is showing that imap-login processes are polling nicely, then the problem is outside Dovecot (i.e. kernel-related).
