Outlook 2003: very slow using IMAP, needs restart, hangs, etc

I've seen on various discussion groups many instances of Outlook 2003:

1. Running very slowly in updating folders as an IMAP client.
2. Needing to be restarted frequently as it hangs up.
3. Not shutting down properly.
4. Not allowing access to other applications while creating or sending emails.
5. Returning frequent "timeout" error messages when running IMAP due to an improper shutdown command in Outlook.

Has anyone seen any fixes here, or do we know of any impending updates that will fix these problems?
 
I routinely use IMAP (two separate mail servers) and don't see any of
these problems ... curious.

Could the root cause not be Outlook but something on the IMAP side?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
