Yep but it's not a raison to have big timeouts !
When you try with a port opened (like https or imaps on my machine) on
the machine which are not IMAP, IMP doesn't answer and locks all new
login. For me it's a bug, now I know that bug and I will use only port
143 :)

When you try with a closed port like a port >1024 there is no timeout
and you can still login after with port 143.

On the other hand, the problem on your demo site is different. On I can
use your demo site only once, I can login once, read my mail, deconnect
and after I can't login any more. But only on your demo site. I have to
shutdown Netscape to try again in order to succeed.
