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. -- Steven E. Harris
