how does this work with IMAP email (specifically Nokia Messaging pushing to a gmail account)? I'm having a bit of trouble visualising what happens when data is being puhed to the n900 by an external mail server at arbitrary times?
If the app has autoDisconnected all connections (2G/3G and WiFi) due to inactivity and a mail then arrives in my gmail acct, will it still get pushed & received immediately, or would it need to wait for a reactivation of a data connection being done (manually or by a widget or whatever) on the n900?
Sorry if that is a dumb question but I rely on push email and I assume it needs genuinely "always on" data connection for it to work optimally - very nice app regardless though :-).
If you set your e-mail checks too frequently (less or equal to 15 minutes) then i do not recomend you this application.

Therefore, under Nokia messaging (which supports IMAP push, unlike the inbuilt email client when used with gmail), I have "send/receive" set to "as soon as possible" - as that is presumably the only setting that offers *push* rather than *poll*? Your answer either means that I've misunderstood the role of an IMAP client and the delivery mechanism for IMAP delivery notifications (possible as n900 is my first such device) ... or it means that you've misunderstood my usage (or push email in general)?
Thanks for the reply, but I'm no clearer as yet on how autoDisconnect would affect receipt of push email.
My gut feel is that it will delay receipt until either (a) a data connection is established on the n900 for some other purpose or (b) the mail client wakes up to do a scheduled poll (which mine isn't currently configured to do, at least not explicitly). S'pose I should just suck & see - but I'm avoiding install of too many app's from the dev/test areas right now :-)

Last version is 4.6.2 : See http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-maemo5-core/.
Try to remove them with apt-get remove. See this thread : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43848

Doesn't really work on my N900.
Also this is quite confusing:
"In 5 minutes, if the total traffic of your connection if less than 5*100 = 0.5 KB, it won't be closed."
So, the connection will be only disconnected if it exceeds given traffic?
Anyway I tried with settings like "1 min/ 5 bytes" or "1min/9999" bytes and both don't seem to work and my connection is always on. Did anybody else had similar situation?

this is a great app, potentially solving the only major outstanding issue of short battery life for the n900!
just a few questions:
1. i see in the details of the app install that this takes 15mb of space, does this go into rootfs?
2. i'm confused about the disconnect of max idle traffic. shouldn't the setting be that in X min, if traffic is below X bytes, then connection closes? doesn't make sense if it keeps the connection ON if traffic is below X bytes (this is what is stated in the description of the app.)

1 - Have you checked the check "Enabled" ?
2 - What connection are you using ? It only works now with Wifi and GPRS/3G.
3 - Could you post the following log file : /var/log/autodisconnect.log

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback

Latest version does not appear to be auto disconnecting. Log shows it starting but despite nothing using network traffic (that I know about) connection seems to stay open.
