Well, normally Dovecot disconnects connections after they haven't sent anything for 30 minutes. This isn't configurable. And usually clients do something at least once every 30 minutes, so they should never get disconnected. Check from Dovecot's logs what the disconnection reason is, or if there are any error messages. > > What Dovecot version? > > Debian etch incumbent : 1.0.rc15 It's possible this has already been fixed. rc15 is over a year old already.
