Happy users are good. :)

Hmmm.  I kind of thought it was.  I'd have to look at the code again, 
but I thought that when it got an imap logout command it would close the
connection.

If it isn't closing at imap logout, then I would say this should be fixed.

The only other "solution" is to set a short timeout period.  Since IMP
tends to do a lot of imap logins very quickly, you can set the timeout
rather short and still see a benefit.  That won't close the connection 
at logout, but will make sure it doesn't stay around long after a logout.

How did you determine it doesn't close the connection at logout?
