Is this mailing list beneficial?! I am not sure! This is 3rd time that I
send this mail to the list, but no answers as yet. Do someone receive my
mails? Please reply even with no solution!

Subject: IMAP connection timeout

Dear LIST:
I have a problem while trying to define a new folder in Incoming-Folders
collection using IMAP. I receive the following error message from PINE 
ver 4.10 after about 25 seconds:

[[CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)]

The server is located out of our LAN and it seems a timeout occurs due to
our slowish connection line to the internet.
Any suggestions to overcome this problem?

-- THX in advance,
   M. Tajamolian

I am not sure if your error message if a local timeout or a server timeout
( or not a timeout at all for that matter ) but what I would recommend is
to see if you do have pine's assume-slow-link enabled, and if that dosent
solve it, go increase the timeouts on IMAP. If that -still- dosent fix it
then you might wana get a new line (duh) or look for an error on the IMAP
server's side. Of course you realise that this is a pine list and that if
this last senario is what affects you then you would get more luck asking
for help on a IMAP list.

Best luck to you,
