Mark,

Thank you for the response.

The question relates to my users are getting "IMAP connection timeout"
messages in their Outlook 2003 email client, not for the GroupWise
client. It is an annoyance to these Outlook 2003 users and generates
helpdesk calls :-(.

I read in the IMAP documentation that the respective protocol
specifications (POP, IMAP and HTTP) require the server to keep an idle
connection open for a minimum amount of time. The default times are 10
minutes for POP, 30 minutes for IMAP, 3 minutes for HTTP. 

At the risk of being repetitious here, is there a way in UW IMAPD to
set this default idle setting for IMAP to 0 or make the default idle
time longer? 

Does the 2400g version of imapd have a work around to automatically
reporting "fake" new mail after 29 minutes?

Thanks in advance.

Emy

The answer to your question depends upon the IMAP client that you use 
since this is entirely a client feature.  You seem to use Novell 
Groupwise; I know nothing about that program other than its name.
