title: How long can a Mailkit SMTPClient connection stay open
body: <p>I use mailkit for my ASP.Net Core application and create a SMTPClient object which I then connect to Office365 and authenticate my user with a username and password. How long can this connection be open until it expires or needs to be reauthenticated? Also, is there a way to keep the connection alive without sending an email at the expiration time?</p>
