No, but once sitting idle again for 10-15 seconds, the delay occurs 
again regardless of which folder you choose.

Am I understanding your question correctly? It really seems to me like 
Outlook is prematurely ending IMAP sessions.

I also extended the "Server Timeout" setting in OT2010 to 10 minutes, 
which doesn't seem to help either. (!)

I was considering enabling the auth_cache feature to see if that helps.

I'll let the list know what happens -- planning on doing that today.
