You can *send* email, but when accessing the inbox it buggers out? Ok, then 
I'd assume that your connection details are correct so far.

I had something similar today as well. In my case it was a malformed message 
in the inbox. I logged in by Squirrelmail, deleted the message and then it 
worked.

So it may be worth a try to move all messages from the inbox to a different 
folder. Or at least start with the HTML messages, as they are the most likely 
culprits.

As a work around I have now configured the same mailbox twice in my iPhone: 

Once using IMAP, once using Exchange and ActiveSync.

Typically I have the IMAP mailbox disabled and use the Exchange one, but if 
need be I can swap around, login by IMAP and clean up my inbox to remove 
malformed messages that Z-Push buggers out on.
