Yeah, reading over the bugnote and hints of the RFC indicate what I think are two valid places for this: Either ic_select, where we mark a previously selected mailbox as recent or ci_cleanup (in imap4.c) upon disconnect. However, looking at the code in imap4.c, there appears to be a notification mechanism that says when recent messages have arrived. So a client keeping a connection alive with noops would see when messages arrive. This indicates to me ic_select is the right place. Paul, you've looked into this, are you any more enlightened on the issue or also kinda in the dark about how to do it right. Has anyone taken a look at any other IMAP server's code to see where they handle it? Aaron
