no chance to install at the moment another mailclient on the Pre, there is simple none available. I read the some about it, but with also different opinions. Sometimes goes, somtimes no. So i thought i give it a try.

So i'll see how far i come with it. Maybe you can take a look the the Nokia N900 when it will be avail ;-) I think, i'll get this device too.

But also, can someone confirm, the processes are correct? Thunderbird displays the messages arrived a little bit later then expected. I see in the syslog, the message was deliverd to dovecot, but it takes a view more seconds before it displays.

Hello,

i try to understand, how it works (IDLE). Try to get it successfully work with my new Palm Pre ;-) which looks like to have a lot issues wir imap... so i'll blame not dovecot

As far i read about palm pre , its imap app is terrible therfore , simple advise dont use it, or try to install working mail client on palm pre like thunderbird etc ( dont know if this is possible )

in general its a shame for this big companies , that there eye seems only to be on how to make money with their apps, and their additional services, and dont push good implementations of old and open standarts like imap i am still searching for a linux smartphone which works i excpected all smartphones i tried since yet were somehow incomplete in mail stuff

...

for the issues.

Sent a mail, from googlemail. processed by dovecot ad 12:11.

what me now confusing, is, that there in the out-log is nothing visible, I expected, to see there was sent an notification, there was a new mail. Do i miss something?

After arounde 15 minutes the Palm sent a "DONE" and reconnect. then the messages was received.

Regards Ingo
