The main difference seems to be that 1.2 advertises IDLE in capabilities before authentication, but 2.0 does not:
Correct... and according to Timo, this is proper IMAP protocol, so you'd probably be better off taking this up with the Profimail devs...
You are probably right; however, when reading RFC2177 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177> I noticed this:
<quote> The IDLE command may be used with any IMAP4 server implementation that returns "IDLE" as one of the supported capabilities to the CAPABILITY command. </quote>
Then in RFC2060 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2060>
<quote> 6.1.1. CAPABILITY Command
Arguments: none
Responses: REQUIRED untagged response: CAPABILITY
Result: OK - capability completed BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid
The CAPABILITY command requests a listing of capabilities that the
server supports. The server MUST send a single untagged
CAPABILITY response with "IMAP4rev1" as one of the listed
capabilities before the (tagged) OK response. This listing of
capabilities is not dependent upon connection state or user. It
is therefore not necessary to issue a CAPABILITY command more than
once in a connection.</quote>
This is all probably incorrect since I am terrible at comprehending RFCs anyway.
