[imapfilter-devel] Handle reconnect?

Hi,

following problem.
I am using imapfilter to sort my mails.
To do this I do the following:


options.timeout = 120
options.subscribe = true
options.certificates = false
function connect()
        myaccount = IMAP {bla}
end

function sortMAIL()
...
end

function sortMAIL_ignore_errors()
        pcall(sortMAIL)
end

connect()
sortMAIL_ignore_errors()
while true do
        connect()
                while myaccount.INBOX:enter_idle() do
                        sortMAIL_ignore_errors()
                end
end

Problem is, once I need to reconnect (all 24h) I have to manually start
imapfilter again.
I tried to run it on ppp up but since I updated to the newest debian
version, this doesn't seem to work anymore (or I am doing something
wrong ^^)
Is there a way to handle this?
is the problem what I do not properly handle the errors?
Maybe add this to daemon mode on the first place?
With best regards
