I've got similar reports and in the logs I can see alot of errors like this:

Nov  8 09:54:08 imap02 imaps[3919]: Connection reset by peer, closing
connection

It looks like outlook does something strange here (where not?) because it
seems to happen when the user sends a mail. After the SMTP finishes, it
immediately opens 10 to 20 IMAP connections in parallel, which then seems
to be terminated immediately again.

Maybe someone who knows outlook more can shed some light on this.
