[Dovecot] Fwd: mbox snarf plugin + idle

[Jonathan Siegle]

Ok. I went back and reread rfc 2177 and now I understand. Another bug  
in mail.app. I'll go tell Apple.


"
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.
