For what it's worth, many IMAP servers ignore the IMAP standard for things like timeouts. Though the IMAP standard(s) say(s) that autologout timers MUST be at least 30 minutes, it's not uncommon to find IMAP servers that will disconnect if you're idle for more than 5 minutes. Unless you have the power or influence to get the server operators to behave according to the standard, you've gotta configure your IMAP client to deal with it. I will say that mutt is a bit unusual in that it makes it explicit when the connection dies. Most (if not all) GUI IMAP clients hide re-establishing connections so that most people never notice that their connections died. As a final piece of advice, I'd suggest that you read up on the interaction between all the various mutt timeouts (particularly $timeout and $mail_check), and consider that $imap_timeout is similar to $mail_check in how it interacts with $timeout. The way this works is somewhat counter-intuitive. http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Folder ~Kyle - -- The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. -- James Madison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJMMPElAAoJECuveozR/AWe8ggQAIvqO7xseL9DDhqScdrcD2Bm wv2+k06VXQu2iDuNVzGiQTPNPtyUne4JDvG0ip/nIq//Q20u1EODMrNQy5CzMG+7 GlRGG9RV2JRjQvFLccJ85PeDrv44Y8OoGYUjgnoCKQepHi639P70tXYO32QyyzQ3 EoSEv9MW5SZS/slOeJX2rbu9323Z2Nbg4MoYTbYTc1gMR/wDv8cMSCM/Sj7Lqr4v lRRTF9z0KrdsFpF49mJ4ZnHDctvMLiJvOIkHGTNv7WmQAMEFYAZ1ykfbbNAGb3Ua lv7YgbnPRSr7yBBCOH3PxIqFadgmdsQaDbGWdwnlkBjC63FEmuOl9EPU2Q74UPAi 1FTUZr4YkgIsTD3QsLxULVeXpDZjfmZcu/EflVKzXG3NfYFhl7HvsyYMMqzTA0Ji bX7PtibDg6a1IITFnh9iqb/UNKmy/7CW5M39DaOR41WDBTRsm62A4bTE/fyDKnUy tbMGUmZ4o9uXfqDFoNBnVK6ZxWtkQN3DJmJf/pBKNFhCNFnlAkhfzYLJtXhZGO2H GH6hPXzTc/dVaR7t/87dHUVSn5fFhxw/TII4EZfZtY4dtl4SXaICJDD5Hf3EA8Jc Nywz66Hzi6lZF9dh9uIQuopJj/UxkmrjUdXbsdER96PrBdZ/2PkOW2XS9zf619Xg Qi0WP2zIKxc56unD+wQv =covi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
