Few things come to mind:

1. configuration on the target system (close after time)

2. why do you use sysread?

Kind regards

sysread comes from Net\imap.
i am using imap to connect to gmail to get my emails and IM myself.
however, you can see i have enough exception handers. why does the
exception not get caught and the loop continrues. otherwise why is the
process not terminated by TimeoutX.timeout and the loop continues
