After noticing a commit to the HG repository, http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/f88b1e225be5
about, " We didn't update last_output timestamp with long fetches, causing Dovecot to idle-disconnect the client." I chekced out the latest from the DOVECOT-1.0 repo, and built again. Unfortunately, this problem still exists. Login simply disconnects. Any help, anyone? -- Ben
