What exactly does the IMAP IDLE command do? Is this related to what I've vaguely heard about regarding "subscribed mailboxes"? (I think that makes it a push rather than a pull environment.. the IMAP server tells you what changed rather than in this case pine asking every 30 seconds or whatever.. So I presume it mostly helps reduce load on the server...) -- Answer: Because it makes conversations flow in a nonsensical order. Question: Why is top-posting wrong? _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
