Entourage connects to my IMAP server and refreshes correctly when I do a manually triggered mail check, using menu or keyboard command. But if I enable the Live Sync option, I do not reliably get "pushed" notifications.
Sometimes it works. The Progress window expands momentarily, indicating a server connection. I get a notification alert sound. The INBOX unread message count is incremented. But note that the alert sound is the only notification mechanism that works for me. Sometimes the Progress window expands and contracts, but there is no alert sound. The INBOX message count does not change. Sometimes nothing happens, and I do not know that a new message has arrived until I do a manually triggered check. I am testing this by sending messages to my U of Washington IMAP account from my Earthlink (formerly Mindspring) account. I ran a verification on my DB. I did a "Repair Message List" on my INBOX folder. I tested on two different Macs. Here are the details: Entourage 2004 version 11.3.6 (all updates) Live Sync = on Only Connect to Inbox = on Send commands to server simultaneously = on Always download complete message bodies = on Other IMAP options = off Mac Pro running 10.4.10, OS X firewall = on MacBook Pro running 10.5, OS X firewall = "specific services", Ent enabled Server: UW-IMAP4REV1 IDLE UIDPLUS Both of these computers are connected to the net via home ethernet LAN > switch > Airport Extreme > DSL. Does Live Sync work through a NAT router? -- Julian Vrieslander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
