We've had some complaints recently about discounts in email.  That is, a
customer will have their mail client (usually Outlook Express) open, leave
their desk for a while (say, for lunch), and then when they come back, the
first time they try to click on something in their email, they get a message
that the mail server has disconnected them.  The second time they click, the
email works fine.

This seems to be a time-out disconnect.  That is, it seems the connection is
disconnected after sitting idle for a while.

We run IMail 7.15 on Win2k Server on our end.  The clients mostly run WinXP
Pro or Win2k Pro.  The complaints seem to be only from people using Comcast
home broadband cable to access the Internet.  Comcast claims that they do
not have a time-out function on their home broadband service, but I'm
skeptical.

So is there a setting I'm missing on our end, or is Comcast lying?

Thanks,

Ben
