dovecot - Oct 2004 - what exactly does outlook-idle workaround?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the 'client_workarounds = outlook-idle'
directive
exactly does? I have enabled it in my /etc/dovecot.conf, but the problem
that I think it should solve still exsits. That is that after being IDLE
for more than half an hour Dovecot will disconnect Outlook but Outlook
never connects back. Therefore users receive new mail, but they don't get
notified unless they press send/receive.

So what does the workaround do? And how can I solve the problem?

Thanks!
Jonathan

What Dovecot version are you using? I thought it was working, but I 
guess I might have broken it at some point.
