error 0x800CCCDD IMAP server closed the connection

[dysonsphere]

I frequently get the error message:
Your IMAP server closed the connection. This can occur if you leave the
connection idle for too long.
Lost mailbox lock
Protocol: IMAP
Server: ahsmail.uwaterloo.ca
Port: 143
Error Code: 0x800CCCDD.

I get my mail but it is very annoying to have to close the dialog box all
the time.

Is there a way around this?

I have the same problem, and find it difficult to use Outlook for imap due
to this annoyance. At least they could offer an option to turn off the
dialog boxes.
