I've always left that in the default setting state (eg: the workaround
for lookout/express is enabled).  We have client connections active
for (sometimes) days on end.  Whether many of the clients in play use
the IDLE command, I don't know...we've got a hodge-podge of software
out there (Pegasus, Eudora, old Netscape, etc in addition to
newer/decent stuff).

I haven't tried disabling it to see if performance is better though...

Thanks
