That's awfully small. You can make them bigger (e.g. timeout=300,
imap_keepalive=60, or even larger). I know the man page makes it sound
like timeout really needs to be extra small, but don't sweat it. The
default is 600, and you generally don't really need it anywhere near
as small as 15. Think about that: that's potentially checking your
email every 15 seconds. Depending on the number of mailboxes you have
and the latency of your connection, it could easily take longer than
that to complete a check for mail! I know mail admins that get grumpy
when people check their email even every 5 minutes, due to all the
network traffic they generate. When you're checking a file on disk,
well, you can check that pretty dang often without a performance
effect. But over the network? You may be causing your own problem by
having such small timeouts.
Generally, I would say: stick with the default values unless you have
a reason to change them (the defaults weren't chosen by morons).
Chances are, you can probably leave $timeout at 600. Give the defaults
a try, and go from there.
