Can this be done with dovecot? I really like the imap idle feature, but it doesn't work for me because I sort my mail into folders with procmail, so it only notifies me when one drops into inbox and not a subfolder. Is there just an option for this I'm missing, or does support for this not exist yet? Also, I don't think its a client issue as I watched the traffic with tcpdump and it only announced anything for inbox, messages dropping into other folders caused no traffic. -- Collin Grady BOFH excuse #347: The rubber band broke

I have thought about making Dovecot send client STATUS notifications for mailboxes which have changed, but I don't know if clients would actually use it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I would appreciate this feature as well. Because i am using postfix relaying with permit_tls_clientcerts and it just checks the fingerprints of the certs. It find it far more convenient than using something like pam and authorising with user accounts. Postfix can use this features also in combination with normal sasl methods. < Using OpenSSL for authentication brings> in tons of more code that has to be relied on.Your port 22 is closed or does not rely on the the OpenSSL lib ? I took a short look at the sources from postfix but i am not too sure if it?s easy to include in dovecot. Just a idea.
