Good morning everyone,

I noticed some mobile client connections that I know should have

timed out at least 20 mins ago, yet these are still there. The device in question lost its 3G connection and never re-established it. I know, because in this case it was my 'phone ;) Why should the imap-login keep the copnnection in in EST, when it was dropped ages ago. I imagine that the mobile client did not correctly close down the session, but it should have timed out on the server.

When client is in IDLE, it should timeout sooner because of imap_idle_notify_interval setting. But when not in IDLE, there's only 30 minute inactivity timeout (30 mins is minimum required by IMAP protocol).
