Hi Arnt Gulbrandsen and others, Thank you for pointing out the RFC2177. I've just done a brief testing of the IDLE command on imapd. However, I've found that the notification is very far from real-time, it takes at least 30 seconds before a notification is sent to the client. Also, the IDLE command only allows notifications to the selected mailbox. I'd like a mechanism which works with multiple folders. Any other thoughts? Thanks again. Tony
