Well, you can't decrease it below 30 minutes, but you can increase well
above that ... if I understand your question correctly, you're trying to
increase or disable the timeout. The 'timeout' directive in
/etc/imapd.conf should do it - 1440 minutes seems reasonable, being 24
hours. Alternately, setting it to zero might disable timeouts entirely -
I'm not sure.

(If this is so, it needs to be noted in the man page for imapd.conf).

You can also adjust the POP3 timeout for clients using that protocol, if
you're unlucky enough to have any of them.

It seems that only after you go live with a system do you /really/ test
it...
