Hello,
I saw the problem quite often in various posts but could not find a
real solution .
Problem is that I frequently get annoying popups from outlook 2007
about imap idle timeouts which block working with outlook until the
popup is acknowledged.
The popup says:
Your IMAP server closed the connection. This can occur if you leave
the connection idle for too long.
Protocol: IMAP
Server: testhost
Port: 143
Error Code: 0x800CCCDD
I tried to run dovecot with or without "imap_client_workarounds =
outlook-idle" but do not see any difference.
I am running dovecot on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.1
(Tikanga).
Below is the output of some commands to get a clue about my config.
Background info:
Our primary mailboxes are on exchange servers.
As there is a size limit on the server mailboxes I am evaluating a
local storage solution for our users.
Thus I set up an additional mailbox in outlook using IMAP.
Local .pst files can not be backuped easily (especially when outlook
is running) and I am investigating a local IMAP server where users can
move their mails to. This server can easily be backuped (even
incrementally when using Maildir) and users do always have access to
their mails.
The drawbacks are that users must have an extra login to the imap
server because I have no ldap access to the company AD server from our
local site domain.
The solution will not be accepted though if I can not prevent the
frequent disconnect popups.

#dovecot --version
1.0.rc15
First try upgrading to a more current version. 1.0.rc15 has got to be a
year old by now. You can get a newer rpm at atrpms.net.
I do have the same problem with dovecot 1.0.10 : disconnection popups
with Outlook 2003/2007 with this kind of line in the logs:
dovecot: 2008-03-26 15:16:01 Info: IMAP(user): Connection closed:
Connection reset by peer
