one problem that has come up though is particular to apple's mail.app. when a client recieves a new message, they aren't notified that it's arrived, and often even when pressing "check for new mail" they don't see it come in. however, if they move from one mailbox to another, and then back, it shows up. it also shows up if thtey completely quit out of the program and start it back up.
i'm going to try and get a packet dump of this to see if i can find out what's happening in the conversation, but figured in the meantime i'd put my feelers out to see if anyone else is having this problem.
I've always had that problem, but I don't know what could be done about it. Mail.app simply doesn't read or write anything to the IMAP server unless it's specifically told to do something.
I heard from someone it was working with Courier, but with my Courier test server it didn't work. So, apparently it was working with UW-IMAP before? Perhaps I'll try it too to see if it does something differently..
