Looks like it's set in the source code

 	pop3-client.c:#define CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MSECS (10*60*1000)

but the output of

 	# doveconf -a
 	...
 	service pop3 {
 	...
 	  idle_kill = 0
 	...
 	}

maybe points to the config that overrides this.  Easy enough to test.
It's non-RFC compliant as one poster points out, so unless you got a
good reason to do this like lots of zombie pop3 processes, leave it alone.
