[Dovecot] Outlook 2002 sp-2 and initial connection after OS reboot

[David Crisp]

I have a strange problem that I have been experienceing with dovecot:

Dovecot version : 0.99.10.4-1 Using IMAP: 

When I restart the OS (windows XP)  and open up Outlook 2002 SP2  I
don't automatically get my IMAP folders on the DOVECOT imap server.
(the one on the uw_imap server open up straight away) 

When I click on inbox I cam given a message saying : unable to connect
to imap folders 

When highlight the inbox and go to "file"  "connect to <imap server>"
I get the error again.. "unable to connect to imap folders" 

If I just leave Outlook open for a while the folders mysteriously
connect themselves. 

Has anybody seen this before and does anybody have any ideas on what to
do to fix things.  Is this an Outlook problem or a dovecot problem?   I
searched the archives and theres been nothing recently about this kind
of problem. 

I need to get this system running in production very soon.
