Subject: Re: broken imap connection; editing too long

I've had the same problem using pine 3.91 over a dial-up. A couple of 
times pine dumped me clear out to the which host? prompt on the Michnet 
lines, and even trashed the Michnet connection. I set the flag to "slow 
modem" even though I have a 14.4, and have not had a lot of problems 
since. Sometimes still, though, 3.91 "goes to sleep" during a compose 
session, and I just go and make a cup of coffee. It usually wakes up in 
2-3 minutes. 3.91 is so much nicer than 3.89 that I put up with this.

Maybe it's not in pine at all, but in pico?

Hello,

OS: aix3.2.5
PINE: client and imapd and imap server are all the latest versions: 3.91

When I stay in "compose" idle or not idle, editing letter for too long
imap connection will break!!! Usually 10 minutes is enough to make 
it happen. And I am not the only one who experiences this in our
environment. Has anybody seen this? Does anybody know why this
happens?

Thanks,

I have the same problem running PC-Pine Win through a PPP dialup.  After an 
extended edit or compose, when I attempt to send, Pine comes back with an 
error message "IMAP Connection Went Away".

Only workaround I've come up with is to let Pine time out until the 
"Break connection?" prompt, break the connnection, postpone the message, 
then quit and restart Pine.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you.  My service provider is no help, and a 
previous post here yielded no suggestions.

Anyone have any ideas to resolve the connection timeout problem?

Are either of you using an alternate-editor?

When an alternate editor is active, Pine is asleep and unable to "ping"
the IMAP server to prevent the server timeout.  This is a problem, but so
far we don't have a good solution for it.

Hi Terry, thanks for the response.  No altenate editor.  I'm using the 
built-in.  Any other suggestions?
