Would they be hitting the same cyrus server, and also not running on  
the same host?

This would be the correct setting for the timeout, assuming 'imap' is  
the correct server stanza for your configuration. FWIW, the  
description is listed in the header of the backends.php file, but it's  
the very last option, I missed it the first time I looked too ;)

Are you sure the issue was a timeout on the IMAP server?

A possibility, sure. How long did the searches take on your old system?

Anything of interest on the cyrus server logs? You can also activate  
imap debug logging in backends.php to log the IMAP conversation so we  
can see if there is anything weird going on there.
