Yes, it's different there. In v1.1 it never actually disconnects for
inactivity. It sends "Still here" notifications every 2 minutes, so if
the connection is really dead those sends should cause Dovecot to notice
the disconnection.
But is disconnection the real problem? I changed IDLE a bit also in
v1.0.6:
* IDLE: Interval between mailbox change notifies is now 1 second,
because some clients keep a long-running IDLE connection and use
other connections to actually read the mails.
