After 10 mins of unactivity of pop3 , dovecot disconnect the user (-ERR
Disconnected for inactivity.)

What is the option in the config file which control the unactivity
logout time ? becuase i want to decrease the inactivity time

To 5 mins instead of 10 mins

Looks like it's set in the source code

        pop3-client.c:#define CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MSECS (10*60*1000)

but the output of

        # doveconf -a
        ...
        service pop3 {
        ...
          idle_kill = 0
        ...
        }

maybe points to the config that overrides this.  Easy enough to test.
It's non-RFC compliant as one poster points out, so unless you got a
good reason to do this like lots of zombie pop3 processes, leave it alone.
