Did you restart the web server after the changes?

Do you perhaps create session files in /tmp, and have some kind of tmp
watcher that deletes the files in /tmp at regular intervals?

Lots.  Depends on how you do sessions (local, sql, nfs mount, etc).

It could be, but if so you should see errors in your imap server logs.
Maybe inetd/xinetd/tcp_wrappers has a rate limiter that is being
triggered?  So many possibilities...  You really need to start checking
log files to narrow down the possibilities.
