Hi, I used the c-client library to write new email service (on Outlook2000 Corporate mode), connecting to server using IMAP4 protocol. The synchronization chosen is the disconnected mode: data is retrieved and stored locally, then mail's properties (like flags, priority, read/unread,etc) will be updated whenever any change on the server is detected.
I found the c-client library does not support the IDLE command, so I could not get the server inform new changes. The way I did: -New mail checking: using the response of the SELECT command and comparing the uid validity and the number of mails in each folder. -Changes to existing mail, or mails deleted: I can do this by comparing mail-by-mail, folder-by-folder. This is very slow. What I need now is a implementation way that the server informs the client every update to a certain mailbox that the client has access permission. Currently I only know that the IDLE command can do that. If anyone has ever worked on this, please help to tell me? -Is the IDLE command supported in a certain version of c-client library? -If not, has c-client library been extended to support IDLE command by a designer, which is not included to the formal library? Can I use that library? -Is there any way other than using the IDLE command? How to implement that? Any help would be much appreciated.
