Hello,

I would like to use push in qmail+dovecot environments. Can someone tell me
which components
should I use to enable this feature for mobile devices?

Thanks.

I think z-push is probably what you are looking for

Hi,

this works fine with mobile clients that support IMAP IDLE. Using it with
K-9 on Android devices and it works like a charm.

Hi Thomas,

What do you mean with "this" is it z-push?

I do not have any experince about push mail and mobile devices.
I read some documents and I am a little bit confused. If I understood
correctly(most probable not :))
Someone says that dovecot IMAP-IDLE solution is enough without installing
anything else.
other one says you have to install z-push.
Are these two solution alternative to each other or they complete each
other?



Thanks.

With IMAP-IDLE the client will maintain a sticky connection to the
server. Once a mail is received, Dovecot will notify the connected
clients. This only requires a mobile client with this capability and of
course a permanent connection to the server. It does not require additional
packages etc.

Hope that helps.

 I second that, IMAP IDLE is the standard way of achieving push email
 functionality. Your client needs to support it but vast majority does
 these days.

 And in fact k9mail on Android works great (really!) for me, too.
