My firewall drops all tcp connections if they are idle for some period
of time.  Unfortunately I think that time period is less than what
nnimap uses.  So, I find myself often during the day having to do
something that causes nnimap to try and communicate with the server.
It then hangs indefinitely and I have to C-g it.  Then I re-do the
command and nnimap automatically reconnects to me server without any
problem.  Is there any good way for me to fix this?
