nntp and nnimap disconnect and take forever when emacs is idle

Hello,

Does anyone else also experience this, when they’ve left their Emacs or just gnus idle for sometime, it disconnects from the server, whether nntp or nnimap, and then when you open a group that’s requesting that server, it takes forever to load. Is this one of those things that you have to swallow with Gnus, or is there some hack?

Regards,
