[Dovecot] iPhone and custom imap folders problem
Hi
Im using Dovecot 1.0.10 and everything seems work ok except one client He is accessing his mailbox using iPhone There are several custom folders created and mail is directed to them using procmail The problem is iPhone mail app only sees changes in INBOX and when new mail arrives to other folders it will not see it unlers user accesses this particular folder Is there some kind of workaround for this?
Im quite sure its iPhones fault as all other email clients are workin perfectly fine.

So the solution is simple go bug Apple. Oh yeah. they say if something isn't implemented on Apple platform or it doesn't work, then you don't need it, because their devs know what's best for their users.

Exactly, no hope here :( What's even more annoying, apple doesn't put those idiotic limitations on Exchange accounts - seems they like Microsoft more than free solutions :)

As far as I know, that is a limitation of the iPhone mail client: it only IDLEs on the currently selected folder, and it only checks the currently selected folder for new messages. You will not see new mail for the other folders unless you select them.
