nnimap connection timeout problem

nnimap connection timeout problem

[Jake Colman]

Since upgrading from XEmacs 21.1.8 to 21.1.12 and upgrading all my packages
at the same time, I am having problems with nnimap connection.  Everything is
fine and dandy if, after establishing the initial connection I continue to
check my mail fairly regularly.  But if I wait for an extended period of
time, the Exchange Server times out the connection and I can no longer
reconnect.  It is not even sufficient for me to shut down gnus.  I have to
exit and restart my entire XEmacs session.

This first happened to me, BTW, about two weeks ago when I tried updating to
the latest packages while still running 21.1.8.  Immediately upon having done
this, my imap connection would freeze after the initial download done by
gnus.  I immediately restored my packages directory, on the assumption that
perhaps the latest packages require the latest XEmacs, and all was well
again.  Now I have the latest of everything and still no joy.

TIA!
