Hi,

How can i make IDLE work for real with MSOutlook, so that i can receive
emails when they arrive, instead of changing folder/get out and in my
account?
Microsoft's Outlook is primarily meant as the client for Exchange. IMAP
is been poorly implemented, across many generations of Outlook. So are
you sure your Outlook even supports IMAP IDLE? And if it does, not only
on the single folder you have a running connection to but for all folders?
Here's my conf, should it be reflected in postconf -n (is it the running
conf?):
Postfix has nothing to do with that, so "postconf -n" is not required.

root@fastmail:/etc/dovecot# postconf -n|grep -i idle
"doveconf -n" would tell you which settings are effectively set.
