the imap daemon, for pine, seems to have a 30 min inactivity timer. when
using windows pine & timed out, the window becomes locked on the pc, which
is very annoying. any suggestions, other than dumping windows? 

thanks,

Under normal circumstances, windows pine keeps the connection alive.  I
never have this problem on my system.  So something unusual is happening on
your system.  A couple other users have complained about this bug as well. 

Make sure that you are running a current version of the IMAP server.

Under what circumstances does the timeout occur?  Does it happen if the 
pine window is left in the foreground?  In the background?  Iconized?

What other applications are you running?

What TCP/IP software do you have?

Finally, it may be helpful if you generate a debug log of a pine session
that hangs and mail it to us.  Do this by turning on debugging with the
command line option '-d 8'  (levels 0-9 are possible, 8 should produce
copious debugging info).  Run pine until it hangs.  Then look for the 
debug log (should be pinedebg.txt in the same directory as pine.exe)
and mail that to us.
