I suspect but have not yet proved to myself that 'your' server moves and
the connection fails because the google box is different.  Given the size
of the google farm and the numerous servers and gateways and network
magic that 'your' server moves and the connection fails because the
google box is different.  Some NAT tricks come to mind that make this possible
but very hard to track from this side of the gateway.

I often see gmail connections die even with 'mutt' and have started to
sync my mail box prior to a reply.  Often after a well considered email
(=lots of time editing) I find that my connection to the mailbox is gone.

Given the price I guess I cannot complain.
