I'm getting a large number of ...
"Your IMAP server has closed the connection. This may occur if you have left the connection idle for too long."
errors. These are confusing my clients. Is there a way to set the timeout on the dovecot server to help avoid this? [Bill Milford] I get these too. I am using outlook 2003 in IMAP mode. I have turned on raw logs and I do not see anything happening in the dovecot logs.
Are either/both of you behind NAT? It's possible your NAT device is terminating the TCP session after some inactivity period.
-Adam My server and my desktop are on the same /24 subnet -- no NAT involved. It only happens with Outlook. Thunderbird works fine.
