Thanks Garry, Matt for your input. I will assume that the IDLE feature of IMAP is working in my James server and won't worry about the configuration of it for now. (Though the James web page for config-events.html needs to be updated to reflect the current state of James.) I do have something odd going on with 3 different Android phones trying to use email client apps to connect to my James server and retrieving email. Initially emails are downloaded and displayed OK but as soon as we try and do a refresh all the emails disappear. And then for some unknown reason we can sometimes get them back and display them but we don't know what triggers that. It seems to be inconsistent and therefore unrelated to changes we try making to the configurations of the apps. K-9 seems very sensitive to this sort of behavior but we have seen it happen on other apps such as Blue Mail, GMail and the default email app that comes with Samsung phones... This is why I became suspicious of IMAP's IDLE feature and was wanting to play with it to see if I could force the failure. Will keep looking for a solution, some folks are saying it might have something to do with Android's new battery savings features so that is another path for us to explore...
