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
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
