Hello,
is my understanding of the parameter "imap_idle_notify_interval" right, if i say, it's the time between two point where dovecot tells the client he is here, and sould have nothing directly todo with the notification of new mails arrived.
Right.
I played with the values around. And the courios is, in thunderbird the folloing.
set to 30 seconds.
Thunderbird pop up around 25 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox.
set to 60 seconds.
Thunderbird pup up around 50 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox.
I don't see how that setting would affect either of these.
Did you build Dovecot with inotify/dnotify/kqueue support? (What does dovecot --build-options show?) If not, mailbox_idle_check_interval is what controls how often new mails are checked.
