[QUOTE="DevilsPGD, post: 10439080"] In message <OIqlvx8oHHA.1220@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl> "Kent Moore" You have identified the crux of the problem -- The IMAP protocol specifically allows the server to drop the connection, and suggests that clients handle it gracefully rather then whining to the user. Outlook doesn't. Microsoft was informed of this as far back as the 90s, and has decided to opt for user-unfriendliness. All that being said, if your IMAP server leaves connections for at least 30 minutes (the IMAP spec's suggested minimum idle time) then you shouldn't see this issue much unless you have some networking gear that kills idle connections (many cheapo SOHO NAT boxes do, unfortunately) [/QUOTE]
