I notice the exact same problem connecting to a Courier-IMAP
server. If I hit `1 g' to check my mail after the server has been idle
for about a minute, Gnus notices the connection is dead, but then asks
if I want to go offline. I then have to answer no and try a more
forceful mail check attempt with `M-g' on the IMAP group, or go to the
Server buffer, close the server, and reopen it.
For what it's worth, this IMAP server's select method contains
(nnimap-stream starttls)
which may influence how connections are opened and unexpected closes
are detected.
