"The IDLE command is sent from the client to the server when the client is ready to accept unsolicited mailbox update messages. The server requests a response to the IDLE command using the continuation ("+") response. The IDLE command remains active until the client responds to the continuation, and as long as an IDLE command is active, the server is now free to send untagged EXISTS, EXPUNGE, and other messages at any time."
Mail.app doesnt respond to the "+" response. Begin forwarded message:
From: Jonathan Siegle <jsie...@psu.edu> Date: February 12, 2009 7:55:58 AM EST To: Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org> Subject: [Dovecot] mbox snarf plugin + idle X-Psu-Spam-Hits: -102.599I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem:1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idleWhen I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/ mail/ and moves them over fine. When I truss the process, I see it only running stat calls on my "mbox-snarf" file. To get new messages I issue DONE, CLOSE, and SELECT INBOX.I'm not sure why it is reporting alpha5 two lines below. I did an hg pull just the other day and see 1.2.beta1 in the output of hg tags.# /usr/ladmin2/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha5: /usr/ladmin2/etc/dovecot.confWarning: fd limit 2000 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 4224).
