[Dovecot] Question about IMAP IDLE (and Palm Pre)

[Ingo Thierack]

no chance to install at the moment another mailclient on the Pre, there 
is simple none available.
I read the some about it, but with also different opinions. Sometimes 
goes, somtimes no.
So i thought i give it a try.

So i'll see how far i come with it.
Maybe you can take a look the the Nokia N900 when it will be avail ;-)
I think, i'll get this device too.

But also,
can someone confirm, the processes are correct?
Thunderbird displays the messages arrived a little bit later then expected.
I see in the syslog, the message was deliverd to dovecot, but it takes a 
view more seconds
before it displays.
