Help with IMAP IDLE

[Jorge Bastos]

Guys,

I just discovered the reason!

When i migrated the account from the old imap server to the new (dovecot), i
didn't removed and created the account in msoutlook, as i didn't saw any
reason to do it.
Creating the account again, IDLE works ok!

Stupid outlook!
Sorry for the noise, and thank you for the help,

Well,

I've been doing some research, and it seems that msoutlook  2016 and 2019
doesn't quite have imap idle support.
The odd part, is that when i had DBMail, it was IDLE'ing (i swear), Would
dbmail send something different that make it work? It was an old version of
dbmail, 2.3.7 i believe, from about 2012 or so.

And no, it wasn't the outlook options "send/receive", i had and have that
disabled,

Don't have explanation, thunderbird IDLE's perfectly

Yes,

that used cirus-imap.

Have you verified (with rawlogs or tcpdump) that outlook even attempts IDLE?
Is your dovecot advertising IDLE support in CAPABILITY?
