(I might be talking to myself here, but I'm just continuing to report progress
in the hope for it to be useful for others)

To try to further debug the problem I hooked valgrind up on the imap ioslave to
see if I could spot any memory leaks and suddenly the problem disappears!!! 
The speed of getting email is painfully slow, but kmail is suddenly usable
again...

To me this indicates that there is a race condition in the imap ioslave.  My
office desktop sits more or less on the same gigabit LAN as the imap server so
the speed of the communication is very high.  This might also explain why
everything works fine from my laptop that I use to read email from my home
network which has a much higher latency that the office LAN.

Hmm, running valgrind continuously on the ioslave seems to be a bit overkill.
Should maybe write a wrapper that adds a millisecond or two to the network
latency...
