Hi,

I know, I know, I was just telling that at least in Windows...

Should be the same under Linux but I have no way to know ;)

Have in mind that the timeout value in the settings are for sockets
timeouts. In other words, time to wait for the server to answer.

In this case you post, is not happening that. What happened is that
your system or Google closed the socket. So, when Sylpheed sent a
NOOP to keep the session alive, there wasn't any actual communication
established so the connection was reset and automatically reconnects
to recover it.

Is not as when it gets stuck, that there is a connection but the
server just doesn't reply.

So, do we understand that, this time, Sylpheed didn't get stuck?

Or in that session Sylpheed hang for a while again?
