Thanks for the info!
So, is there any known safe Outlooks out there (we are using fairly stock
Office 2000 releases).. or, is there a courier setting out there that will
kill off numnber IMAP connections from outlook before simply refusing
additional connections?

If we quit Outlook and restart it, it will work fine. I suppose it's
typical MS reboot and it will work logic, but, it's annoying.
When this happens, take a look at your open network connections. Certain
versions of Lookout like to keep opening new logins to the IMAP server,
without closing the existing logins, basically a time-delayed denial of
service attack.
The default Courier-IMAP configuration allows no more than four simultaneous
server connections from the same IP address. Additional connections from
the same IP address will be turned down.
