[Dovecot] outlook2007 shows frequent imap disconnect no matterwhat, outlook-idle setting in dovecot.conf
Hello all, I configured imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle after a customers complaint (Windows Vista, Outlook 2007) and after a week, she reports me that the issue has never repeated. So it has worked for me. I am running 1.0.rc15 (as from the original post) on a Debian etch box.
