If you check up session-initialize-bincimap.cc, you'll see that if (idletimeout < (30 * 60)) idletimeout = 30 * 60; so Binc IMAP does not allow idle timeouts lower than 30 minutes; this value can only be increased, not decreased. So setting it to 30 seconds; that can only be achieved by editing the sources. :-/ Are you sure Binc IMAP is doing what you think it is? ;-) >Yes, you are right - there's no point adding this feature to Binc if a >4-line script will do the job!
