Hi,

i use dovecot 2.1.3 on a gentoo system.

Before i installed my new imap server box, everything worked. Now with Dovecot it does not.

Problem: When i receive a new email, it does not appear in my Outlook unless i have the IMAP Inbox Folder open (highlighted selection).

Sometimes i have new mail in my inbox for over 15 Minutes and i dont realize it unless i click on the inbox folder.

Before that problem occured on my old system ( i think it was dovecot as well ) the inbox folder refreshed automatically and i instantly knew when i had new emails. It was kind of like with my exchange account.

Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong ? Since i did not re-install outlook or something it cannot be a client thing since no settings changed on the client side.

Maybe i have to do something with dovecots config file? I think it should keep the connection to the server open or something. I´d appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks alot Stoney

Dovecot is capable of the following things:

telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

• OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.

Thats my dovecot.conf:
