thats an interesting one ...

so you seem to be running a fully fledged courier IMAP server on your
machine ... how about using offlineimap instead (which will only run
when fetching mail and not cause permanent high I/O on your disk)

you also seem to be running wicd *and* NetworkManager at the same time,
i guess they start wrangling about your network cards (i guess the
modprobe process in the list is related to this too) only one tool
should manage your hardware, pick one and turn off the other ... 

have a look at /var/crash if the system dumped something for a crashing
process there (i guess you can ignore any firefox or evolution entries
there though, as the typical highest consumers of ram the OOM killer
will strangle them first anyway) ... 

ciao
