Well, normally Dovecot disconnects connections after they haven't sent anything for 30 minutes. This isn't configurable. And usually clients do something at least once every 30 minutes, so they should never get disconnected. Check from Dovecot's logs what the disconnection reason is, or if there are any error messages. What Dovecot version? Debian etch incumbent : 1.0.rc15 It's possible this has already been fixed. rc15 is over a year old already. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Greg Troxel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [dovecot closing connections to gnus, making gnus fail to exit group] I use gnus and I think that the closed connection happens to me once in a while. gnus just reopens it - I'm running the head of Gnus CVS. So this feels like a gnus bug. I don't think so - in that its not a bug that it doesn't poll IMAP. It seems to me that dovecot drops the connection through lack of activity. I add this to my .gnus.el and all is now good. (require 'gnus-demon) (setq gnus-use-demon t) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-get-new-news 10 0) (gnus-demon-init) Nicer would be for gnus to simply redo the TLS if it can't connect when entering or leaving a group ... that way no need for relatively expensive automatic polling.
