What curl version?  Are you sure it's not the remote server throttling you
because of too many requests in a short time? ISPs used to restrict the number
of polls for mail you were allowed to do in a short time; I don't know if they
still do but it's quite likely. I'd expect to see a different error message in
that case, though.
