jabber.el supports automatic reconnection to Jabber server(s) upon lost
connection. By default it is off. To turn on, customize
the jabber-auto-reconnect variable.
This is of limited use if you have to type your password every time
jabber.el reconnects. There are two ways to save your password: you can
set it in jabber-account-alist (see Account settings), and
you can use password-cache.el, which is available in
recent versions of Gnus and in Emacs 23. Note that you probably want to
customize password-cache-expiry if you use the latter.
