I second that! I've played with a simple workaround for Gmail in which I regularly check for flag changes when in the IDLE state, but I haven't enabled it because I don't like that the workaround is not automatically disabled when/if Gmail IDLE is improved. I've also been wondering: The RFC on IMAP IDLE does not state it as a requirement that servers must (or even should) report flag changes when in the IDLE state. Has anyone done any experiments showing whether or not this is a widespread IMAP server limitation (beyond Gmail)? -- Benny MailMate: http://freron.com _______________________________________________ Imap-protocol mailing list [email protected] http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-protocol
