[imp] session timeouts

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting "Eric S. Johansson" <esj@harvee.billerica.ma.us>:

> The other day, I was curious as to whether or not IMP connections ever 
> "timeout" and become invalid.   As an experiment, I left a browser 
> (Netscape) up all night after having connected to imp 2.2.3 and then gone 
> to another page on an unrelated site.  Much to my surprise, I was still 
> able to access my e-mail in the next morning without any problems.

> is there any way I can force/enable a timeout or do users just need to

> Is this an RTFM?

The status bar refreshing keeps the session alive. If you turn that off, 
sessions will time out after a while.
