I have sporadically experienced the "IMAP closed the connection" pop-up for perhaps a couple of months. Outlook 2010/IMAP.

The two most common are: 1) The authentication window appears repeatedly although the password is correct 2) This error appears: "Your IMAP server closed the connection. This can occur if you leave the connection idle for too long" ( many users are actually on POP not IMAP) Over the past month I have opened 2 tickets with ITS and have supplied net ids of some of the affected individuals. Some users stopped having problems, while new ones appeared. Some users have the problem all a few times a day, and others get the errors every 10 seconds in the afternoon. I haven't received a clear resolution. Is anyone else experiencing either of these errors? I can't believe they are caused by configuration problems on the users' computers. Thanks! -- Jared R.
