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? ;-)
Hmm, apparently not.
I also changed the "maximum number of server connections to cache" setting in Thunderbird to 1, from the default 5, so that is probably what is actually helping me.
I see what you mean about the idle timeout setting - it can't be less than 30 minutes, and there is no point to setting longer values, so why bother making it configurable? (Especially if it doesn't throw an error for invalid settings.)
