Had the same problem, tried lowering imap_keepalive which didn't fix it but apparently the combination set imap_keepalive=180 set timeout=180 fixed it for me. Have one remaining problem - if sending an mail using builtin SMTP takes long the imap connection is lost anyway. However I use external SMTP programs most of the times. Richard
