Well, you can exclude postfix from the problem since postfix doesn't
supply a imap server. So it's a courier problem. Can't say much more,
but it seems that the imap daemon has trouble connecting to whatever
authentication resource you're using (maybe courier's authdaemon?).

Sorry for not being of more help...
