I use it in foreground only because I DON'T like saving password in a configuration file. These are the steps: 1) i run mbsync -a 2) it asks me the password 3) iterate the mail check every N minutes. (clearly the password remains in clear text in the memory) I think that, if someone want the daemon mode they can create a configuration file with all parameters and the password and put mbync in /etc/crontab.

IMAP notify = nice feature :) I see that there is an experimental branch for dovecot http://hg.dovecot.org/old/dovecot-2.2-notify/ /davide -- "A cookie store is a bad idea.
