   * Add a configuration option 'proxy' to proxy TCP connections to the
     IMAP server.
-  * Don't set SO_KEEPALIVE on the socket.  This is most likely useless
-    in our case since the TCP keepalive time is usually much higher than
-    the IMAP timeout.
   * Set X.509 certificate purpose to 'SSL Server' for SSL_verify=YES.
   * Display the certificate chain, SSL protocol and cipher in debug
     mode.
