Description philip zhao 2003-03-24 09:59:43 UTC 
On our build of evolution trunk 3.20 on S8,S9 using Forte, we can connect
to server and works well.

But if we leave it for a while, we will get alert:

"Error while 'Pinging IMAP server server_name':Server unexpectedly
disconnected: Unknown error"

Expected :

It connect to server all time when we are there.

Acturl :

Error dialog comes out which means we disconnect to the server.

this isn't a bug. your server disconnected you.

a future rewrite of the imap code will try to auto-reconnect without
bothering you, but that's not doable in the 1.4 timeframe.
