The strange thing is, I don't see anything unusual in the logs. The client just times out.
What about the /etc/bincimapd.conf file? There are two settings in there to do with timing.
Does this need adjusting?
idle timeout = 1860
===================
Server times out if there has been no communication from the clien for 1860 seconds (31 minutes). Most clients poll the server every few of minutes (frequently 5 or 10) to check for new mail. Most clients simply reconnect if the original connection has been dropped (e.g. because the network cable was disconnected). Note that some IMAP clients don't follow protocol properly when this happens (e.g. Opera) and Binc IMAP v1.7final has a bug that prevents the two parties from getting resychronized: see http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/archive/?0::1150 for a patch to address this situation. But, I don't know if that is what happens with Outlook. I am running Outlook in my lab right now to see if I can reproduce the problem. Since I have not seen your problem, any ideas on what I can do to reproduce the problem?
auth timeout = 60
=================
Similar to the "idle timeout" but specifically for the authentication stage. Hopefully this helps in the case of a denial of service (DOS) attack. I doubt this is a problem for you.
transfer timeout = 1200 ======================= I am not sure what this time out does. Andy?
Henry :-)
I will do a protocol dump if that helps or at least try to do one :)

Since this is the first time that this problem has been reported here, we
don't know.
It would help if you could post an URL to your logs with some indication as to which sessions were timing out.
It would also help if you could do a protocol dump (ala http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/ProtocolDumping) and indicate the problem sessions.
