Looking through the archives I couldn't find anything which semed quite relevant, so:
I'm currently running Linux mandrake 7.02 and have enabled the IMAP (4.7-7) server. I can read/write mail via netscape using imap, so I presume the setup is OK. (Although i can't quite get pine to talk to it, maybe something isn't quite right).
Unfortunately, whenever I log onto worldpilot (and yes I have edited the DOMAIN.py file) the hourglass appears, presumably while attempting to fetch my mail and top shows me a python process running as zope, chewing up anything up to 80-90% of the CPU. All that seems to work is restarting zope.
I would guess that you are using the Washington University IMAP daemon, which has unfortunately chosen to treat your entire home directory as a possible mailbox -- what is probably happening is that you are not really hung, but are stuck running stat() on every file under your home directory. To test this, add a new, bogus user to your system, and clean out any "skeleton" cruft from ~/bogus. Try logging in to WorldPilot -- if that works, then you need to search the archives from February for notes on WU IMAP.
Trimming the contents of my mailbox down to just 6 messages didn't seem to make any difference.
Anyone shed any light?
Oh yes, I have applied the imap.py.diff patch to the python library.
