I will check this again, but this isn't specific to imap,
I remember that leaving a running download results is same hang behavior.
(I agree that after a bit long timeout (about 1~2 minutes) connection is 
reset, but this is annoying, especially if you turned up your system to 
read mail.)

And exiting kmail won't help, since it does mail i/o via kio ioslave
and thus I have to ether wait 2 minutes or kill this ioslave.
