That good then, except it wasn't the problem :)
Have you tried issuing some IMAP commands, just for giggles?

Does the user just get kicked out of IMP, no warning, or do they 
get an error message?  
I get that error when I enter an invalid password.

Are you testing with a consistant username? 
eg.  Log in with chris from outlook.
	Log in with chris from IMP

etc?

The only connection to IMAP should be from localhost. 
See if you can do a complete login from a  telnet to localhost:143

That should be right.  If the counter increments, then the session 
info is getting posted/retrieved correctly (I believe that's exactly 
what's happening)
