Hello,

is RFC 5465 (IMAP NOTIFY (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5465.html) supported 
in 3.0 as stated at 
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/rfc-support.html ?

Per RFC 5465 page 7, the server-side support is announced with “ S: * OK 
[CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 NOTIFY]”.  The CAPABILITY
answer is generated in imap/imapd.c using “static struct capa_struct 
base_capabilities[]” in capa_response().  The
latter contains no code to generate NOTIFY.

Moreover, the event_notifier in imapd.conf suggests utilizing it for EVENT 
NOTIFICATIONS,but the possible options for
notifyd(8) 
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/systemcommands/notifyd.html 
are null, log, mailto, zephyr
and external: none of which is applicable to IMAP NOTIFY as substitution of 
IMAP IDLE.

That leaves me with the impression that the documentation is misleading about 
IMAP NOTIFY support.

Greetings
