Aloha everyone, I ran into a problem which apparently has history. I'm spending a month at my son's house and his internet setup doesn't do well with persistent IMAP connections. So if I don't do anything with my IMAP connection for a little while, and then try something, nnimap hangs (I can point out the precise spot but I assume this is well known already).
Hence nnimap-keepalive. But that's hardwired to run every 15 minutes and check for lack of activity in the past 5 minutes. You can see the problem already, and in fact I found an old discussion thread suggesting the keepalive time should be configurable. By hacking nnimap.el I changed it to a 1 minute run interval and a 1 minute idle check, and now there is no problem with hanging. However being largely ignorant of things gnu and IMAP, I don't know if there is a dark side to this. Probably so. However I'd like to re-suggest configurability for the keepalive timings (both the run interval and the inactivity interval). IMAP over gnus is a real pain to use at my son's house and I suspect elsewhere, when similar conditions prevail.
