Imap closed your connection

Question

Hi,

Please ignore if this is not right place for this query.

I am using Outlook 2010 with created one plugin with Visual Studio 2008 (C#), but I am getting a message (sometime) as popup "Imap closed your connection", so can you please help me how we can avoid this message.

Thanks,

Karan Kumar

Answer 1

Is it possible that you have network problems?

What is your code that raises the error? Do yo uprocess a large number of items in a loop?

Answer 2

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your reply.

There is no problem with network as my network connection is good one as 2Mbps Downloading/1Mbps Uploading.

Even if I run Outlook without my plugin, then also some time I am getting the same popup message.  And I also change one setting as "timeout" from 1 min. to max (10 min.), but still no luck.

Thanks,

Karan Kumar

Answer 3

Hi Karan,

At first, we can switch our focus from the addin. The error could be result from Outlook auto send receive setting.  In Outlook Send / Receive ribbon, -> Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups.  Turn off "Schedule an automatic send/receive" for each group.

I'm referring to: http://piiis.blogspot.com/2007/08/stop-annoying-imap-error-message-in.html

Hope this gets you started.

Does it happen when you run some specific code?

Or even Outlook just sits there?
