+# By default, OfflineIMAP will not exit due to a network error until
+# the operating system returns an error code. Operating systems can sometimes
+# take forever to notice this. Here you can activate a timeout on the
+# socket. This timeout applies to individual socket reads and writes,
+# not to an overall sync operation. You could perfectly well have a 30s
+# timeout here and your sync still take minutes.
+#
+# Values in the 30-120 second range are reasonable.
+#
+# The default is to have no timeout beyond the OS. Times are given in seconds.

+# socktimeout = 60
