The behaviour is that when the client is idling, Dovecot seems to only alert to the first new message received, and if a subsequent new message comes in before the client finishes idling, that second new message is not notified to the connected client.
It is notified, just not immediately. And it's intended to work like that. If Dovecot tells the client about a new message and it doesn't care enough about it enough to break IDLE, it doesn't need to know about the second message immediately either.
Although I suppose with clients that use a second connection to read the new mails this kind of behavior isn't exactly wanted.. Well, I'd like to know if such clients exist before changing this.
- 1 EXISTS
- 1 RECENT
[if a second message is delivered, eg by copying /tmp/1 to /tmp/imap-test/new/2 then you should be notified as well, but this never occurs]
It should occur in 30-60sec or so.
