Just for list completeness, upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.3.29 cured my problem. Thanks all.
Another link to Michael Bowes documentation: (which is updating behind me as I work down the steps!)

You should not use vpopmail-5.2.1, it contains some nasty bugs that can cause unreliable operation of courier-imap (especially if you compiled courier with --with-authdaemon)
You could either go for vpopmail-5.2.2, or vpopmail-5.3.28
Once you have upgraded your vpopmail, you will also need to go and rebuild your other add-on apps like qmailadmin and courier-imap, so that they can link against the updated vpopmail code.
Michael.
