your work on NOTIFY was brought to my attention, and I see it hasn't been changed in two months, a week after you announced it. a few users and some mail admins have been wanting something like this for k9 mail, which I help develop. what is the current status? is it worth installing and starting work in getting k9 to support it yet? I'd offer help on your end, but I just know java and perl. c code usually confuses me (i keep meaning to learn, but...). thanks!

I'm planning on continuing it, but first I'll need to get dsync rewrite finished. It's getting close..

I think you should be able to already test the NOTIFY code, at least if your main purpose is to see when non-selected mailboxes change. My TODO list says:

- check how FlagChange handles HIGHESTMODSEQ when it hasn't previously
  been enabled
- fetch-att for NOTIFY and for SEARCH UPDATE
- implement MailboxName, SubscriptionChange

Also I think you must have mailbox_list_indexes=yes for NOTIFY to see any changes. The "fetch-att" means that you can't tell Dovecot to push FETCH fields for new messages.
