Last weekend I upgraded my server (complete reinstall, actually), from
Debian sarge to wheezy, which brought me from dovecot 1.x (I think) to
2.1.7. It's all working now, *except* that the MUA I use on Android,
Kaiten (a fork of K-9), apparently no longer gets IDLE notifications.
Before the upgrade, when mail arrived, Kaiten would pop up an Android
notification immediately; now, it never does (or it might, hours later,
with all the messages it notices at that time--presumably this happens
when its background service gets killed off and restarted).
The weird thing is that IDLE still works flawlessly with Thunderbird,
which suggests this is a protocol interaction between Dovecot 2 and
Kaiten. (I plan to check with the Kaiten folks next.) Has anybody here
seen this? Is there something I can turn on in Dovecot to help debug it?
I did check my old Dovecot settings, and they didn't specify anything
non-default about IDLE.
Thanks in advance!
