Timing out after only 30 seconds seems a bit aggressive to me, especially if you're uploading a large message over a slow network connection. Isn't it configurable?
Not that I can see, but I will check out the code later too.
The question is whether IMAP really limits us to using something silly as timeouts. Couldn't the server keep sending BUSY messages, or the like?
How could the client distinguish between an upload progressing, and the connection having stalled. Does it look at the flow rate of data, or how does IMAP cater for this requirement?
