yes some but not all users lose contact with imapd. There are a few
users that have lost their connection up to 8 times are day whereas
others report it happening only once a week.

The only error we get is:
Nov 16 13:51:21 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=graham,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=1017, body=935, time=436
Nov 16 14:57:15 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=matt,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=21262, body=9391142, time=23811
Nov 16 15:03:30 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=mgemignani,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=2085, body=0, time=3593
Nov 16 15:32:06 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=jpalandri,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=6657, body=0, time=2625
Nov 16 16:00:05 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=josh,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=2435, body=3252, time=29007
Nov 16 16:01:16 bogey imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, user=graham,
ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.6], headers=8191, body=0, time=6400

which appears in mail.err and syslog. This is the only error I see when
someone gets disconnected.
DEBUG_LOGIN=1 doesnt give much output. Is there any other debugging I
can turn on to get more info?

I hope to be able to get some info from CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 when the
connection to imapd goes down next
