Your IMAP server closed the connection

Post by Peter Kinross »

I keep getting this message in Outlook 2010. "Your IMAP server closed the connection"
I have the Server timeouts set to the max of 10 mins.
Is there anything else I can do?

Try taking the IMAP account out of the 'All Accounts' send/receive group (Send/Receive > Send/Receive Groups > Define Send/Receive Groups, select All Accounts, then click Edit...)
Best wishes,
Hans

No idea what that is about Hans. I can't even find 'Send/receive'.
Didn't realize I was so ignorant - well actually, I guess I did.

Select the IMAP account then clear the check box "Include the selected account in this group".
Best wishes,

Looks like that is working. Most of today with no silly message.
