Is your server advertising IDLE ?
 
telnet to port 143 and issue this command:
 
. CAPABILITY



Hello,

No it isn't, I had already checked and strangely it is not....which is really surprising me that the sessions remain;

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN SASL-IR] node1 Cyrus IMAP v2.4.4-Kolab-2.4.4-1 server ready
. CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN SASL-IR ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY CATENATE CONDSTORE ESEARCH SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE LIST-EXTENDED WITHIN QRESYNC SCAN XLIST URLAUTH URLAUTH=BINARY X-NETSCAPE COMPRESS=DEFLATE
. OK Completed


I might try and recompile using --with-idle=no and see if sessions stay open.

R.
