Hi all, I am investigating the IMAP protocol, especially its new mail notification mechanism. In my understand, IMAP requires a client to poll it (NOOP) periodically in order to receive new mail notifications. Is it the only way?
I am thinking about having an IMAP client connecting to the IMAP servers to watch for new mails in several folders. When, an e-mail arrives in any of the folders, it would receive a notification (pushed from the server) in real-time and the notification also specifics which folder has new e-mails. Is this available in current IMAP specification? Any comment? Thank you very much.
