dovecot - Apr 2010 - Slightly OT: iPhone & IMAP IDLE

Hi all,

Does anybody know whether iPhone is supposed to be able to do IMAP IDLE?  I know
it does "Push" but that seems to be using Apple's Mobile Me and
Exchange.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Hi,

The iPhone doesn't seem to support imap-idle as it closes the connection
to the mailbox when you lock it. I just tested v4 beta with the
redesigned mail.app, but it does not seem to support that either, at
least in the bakground.
It seems there are some tweaks for jailbroken devices however.

Best Regards
