Hello, I'm working with a Cyrus IMAP4 server and am looking for a way to configure the server to notify my email client when new mail arrives (without the client having to poll the server). I have read about Zephyr and the ability to receive 'new mail' notifications, but it seems that Zephyr will only provide basic information about the new message(s), i.e. the sender & recipient addresses and the subject. I'm actually looking for a way for the server to send the IMAP4 message UID as part of the notification so that the client can then easily fetch the correct message without performing any searches.
Is there a mechanism in IMAP4, or Cyrus specifically, that is capable of this, or perhaps any third party software that could do this for a Cyrus server? The end goal is to simultaneously monitor thousands of mailboxes for new email without burdening the server(s) any more than is absolutely necessary - server-initiated notification is obviously preferred over client-initiated polling. Similarly, I'm also looking for a way to be notified of message flag changes, such as when email has been read, unread or deleted. Do you have any suggestions for this, aside from using IMAP4 to poll (or use IDLE) for untagged responses? Thank you, Kris ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
