BYE feels a bit rude to me and it's not really required to fix the situation. And for example Pine doesn't reconnect to server if it loses connection (last I checked).. Several clients which reconnect also complain that connection was lost in some popup window, which is annoying too. I'm currently sending NO, that hasn't caused any problems at least with Evolution and OSX's Mail.app.
