This, from the wiki, looks promising:
imap_idle_notify_interval = 120
How many seconds to wait between "OK Still here" notifications when client is IDLEing.
Thanks for the suggestion. nc localhost 143 a login user@example.com pass b select inbox c idle I did some web searches on that which suggested testing it. So I did the above to test it and in response got "* OK Still here" messages about every 2 minutes. So it seems that the default is 120 for that setting. This means that the old connections at least have a system with a working TCP connection assuming that Perdition and the remote end do the right thing when a TCP session ends. I expect that Perdition is operating well but it seems plausible that there are some firewalls and routers out there that mess up broken connections. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
