Hi Thomas, --- snip --- Someone says that dovecot IMAP-IDLE solution is enough without installing anything else. other one says you have to install z-push. Are these two solution alternative to each other or they complete each other?
With IMAP-IDLE the client will maintain a sticky connection to the server. Once a mail is received, Dovecot will notify the connected clients. This only requires a mobile client with this capability and of course a permanent connection to the server. It does not require additional packages etc.
Hope that helps.
