I updated to the latest rev from atrpms.net which is 1.0.13 and I see the same behaviour. No matter if I set "imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle" or "imap_client_workarounds =" I get those disconnect popups. It seems that the setting has no effect.
Is there someone who had success by applying the setting with outlook 2007?
