Re: [Evolution] IMAP Connections ...

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

The problem is simply that 1.1 no longer sends a NOOP command every 10
minutes as in 1.0.x. This caused a lot of crashes in the 1.0.x series
(gotta love race conditions and all that). The main reason, however,
that 1.1 no longer sends a NOOP every 10 minutes is because I removed an
abstraction layer from the IMAP code (CamelRemoteStore, which is the
class that had the timeout) because CamelRemoteStore was awful and
caused more problems than it solved.

Since you can configure your IMAP account to auto-send-receive every X
minutes, there's no reason you even need the auto-10-minute-NOOP anyway,
just configure it to auto-send-receive every 10 minutes instead. This is
what I do and rarely if ever seem to have the disconnected problem.
