Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.18-2
I’m running fetchmail through a proxy server that drops any connections
left idle for more than a little over 2 minutes. In order to be able to
use IMAP IDLE, I need to reduce this hardcoded timeout value in
imap_idle():
if (has_idle) {
/* special timeout to terminate the IDLE and re-issue it
* at least every 28 minutes:
* (the server may have an inactivity timeout) */
mytimeout = idle_timeout = 1680; /* 28 min */
It would be nice to have that as a configuration option.
In the unlikely event that this is helpful to someone else, here’s the
i386 binary patch I’m using now (28 m = 0x690 s, 2 m = 0x78 s):
perl -0777 -pe 's/(\xc7\x05.{4})\x90\x06\x00\x00/$1\x78\x00\x00\x00/g' -i
/usr/bin/fetchmail
