That is because SEARCH is implied and required by both IMAP4 and IMAP4rev1. No way to disable it without invalidating core imap RFC compliance. > > Is there a list of all the capabilities and which ones dbmail supports > and what the default is?

Disabling IDLE does *not* cause any unexpected side effects. TB will fall back to using active polling on the selected mailbox by issuing a NOOP command. This will trigger status updates; number of messages, number of recent messages, expunged messages, etc - just like they are pushed actively during IDLE. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
