I have doubts that either of those IMAP servers would close the connection out from underneath a client, without the client issuing a logout, closing the TCP connection, or with the server hitting a 30 minute timeout. More than likely, something else is happening that is unrelated to IDLE, like a bug in the client (not sending a logout) or in the server, or with a firewall complicating things. How are you determining that the connections are staying open. Do you see them in netstat? Can you set up telemetry logging, or do a pcap trace to see what's going on? -- Dan White ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
