[Dovecot] IDLE command timeout

[Chris Wakelin]

Isn't this "mailbox_idle_check_interval"?

# Like mailbox_check_interval, but used for IDLE command.
#mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30

It might be better to use "imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle" 
instead. This pretends a new message has arrived just before the timeout 
then says it was deleted. Your client is very broken if that doesn't 
wake it up!

Best Wishes,
Chris
