IDLE should not require selected state
--------------------------------------

                 Key: IMAP-245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-245
             Project: JAMES Imap
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Protocol
    Affects Versions: 0.2
            Reporter: Wojtek Strzalka
             Fix For: 0.2


 The problem is that Outlook on one of the connections it opens to IMAP, tries 
to do IDLE when no mailbox is selected. The   problem is that this brilliant MS 
product don't want to give up, and retries it sometimes 10 requests and 
sometimes hundreds of them - maybe more. In thew best case it ends up with 
extra 200kB of "IDLE <-> NO IDLE failed" communication, but sometimes it ends 
up with Outlook hanged.

The RFC says IDLE is valid also for authenticated state, however behavior is 
undefined....
