> The problem is that Outlook on one of the connections it opens to IMAP,
> tries to do IDLE when no mailbox is selected. The problem is that this
> brilliant MS product don't want to give up, and retries it sometimes 10
> requests and sometimes hundreds of them - maybe more. In thew best case it
> ends up with extra 200kB of "IDLE <-> NO IDLE failed" communication, but
> sometimes it ends up with Outlook hanged.
> The RFC says IDLE is valid also for authenticated state, however behavior is
> undefined....
