Subject: IMAP and Timeout

Is there an Timeout interval set for IMAP?

If you are trying to retrieve mail from another system via IMAP, and if
the system is either down or network not responding then you are hosed.
Pine will keep on trying to make an IMAP connection and goes into an
endless loop. Shouldn't 1 min. or so be set as Timeout period for this?
