Our campus has about 500 macs and an OpenBSD pf firewall that NATs  
them down to the outside world.  I've not heard any complaints from  
users who have IMAP accounts (gmail, .Mac, etc) so I'm not aware of  
any issues.  Our official e-mail system is not IMAP-based, though, so  
it would only affect external services.

Also, I connect from off-campus sometimes via IMAP (through the same  
firewall) and have not noticed any hanging or stalled connections (I  
usually leave the Activity monitor open, so I would see them if they  
happened).
