I think that's a different issue. They're unhappy when an idling device gets woken up (constantly). The "Hang in there" messages are sent only when client has requested some command that takes >15 seconds. Most of the users/clients never see those messages at all.
You're right. It isn't quite the same, and mobile devices are less likely to run afoul of server head-pats every 15 seconds during long-running commands. But there still are issues, even if the device is already quite awake. On mobile devices where you pay per packet (rather than per KB or MB), head-pats add packets on top of IMAP's already excessive chattiness. -- Mark -- http://panda.com/mrc Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.
