Hi,I have implemented the IMAP functionality for our mail hierarchy system bu i am having following issues to which I guess i will need support from u tech giants:1> When the instances of both web mail and Outlook are running then the changes made in status of mails(read/unread) from Webmail is not reflected in Outlook instantly, not even with Send/recieve. Reason being: Outlook donot makes a call of mail refresh list for currently selected folder.Is there any way by which Server can tell the client to make a call from currently selected folder also.
Yes, but it is the client's responsibility to ask the server to be notified of this event. If the IMAP client does not implement this functionality, the server cannot force the IMAP client to do anything.
2> When i create a folder in web interface it is not reflected in Outlook. Could be the same reason as for point 1.
No. IMAP provides no mechanism for a server to notify the client about new or removed folders. The IMAP client must explicitly refresh its list of folders on the server.
I havent implemented the IDLE functionality.
This is the notification mechanism for changes to the contents of the folder. However, you can implement it all you want, but if the IMAP client does not implement it itself, there's nothing that you can do about it.
