Hi,

is there ANY chance for TheBat to ever get support for the IMAP NOTIFY
extension? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5465

It is vastly superior to IMAP IDLE as it does not require a separate connection
for every folder, so combined with server-side filtering (which I assume most
people use nowadays) it allow messages to show up in realtime for all folders.

In fact, it feels like IMAP support - even though it's pretty much at the core
of TB's functionality - has been left untouched for many years. This is a bit of
a shame, because especially when using modern IMAP servers (Dovecot) on the
other side, you lose out on all the nice features they have (like NOTIFY).

Cheers
Adrian
