Compare your php.ini configuration between systems. There are probably discrepancies. Blank pages mean php errors. Enable or increase error reporting in php.ini (error_reporting and display_errors in php.ini). Some of the timeouts you're probably interested in are in php.ini -- default_socket_timeout, max_execution_time, max_input_time, memory_limit. Enable server side sorting in SM config if your IMAP server supports it. Use a php accelerator like Zend or other to increase performance. Use imapproxy.
