I wondered this too. I have not read the IMAP spec in detail, but it would seem that the point of IDLE is that a client be told of all changes that it might reasonably care about. That's of course an argument for what the requirements should have been, not about how it is. To test, I sent a message to muyself, delivered via postfix to dovecot. There were two clients connected: K-9 5.002, push, but NOT 'poll when connecting for push' Mac Mail.App, vanilla config Both showed the message arrive. I clicked on it on the Mac to mark it read. The 1/circle went away on my account view on K-9. I did it again while it inbox and saw the unread indication go away and then the message get deleted. However, I'm pretty sure that if I lose the network and reconnect that I miss messages getting marked as read or deleted. I would say that it's perhaps technically incorrect to disable "poll when connecting for push", but it's a useful tradeoff between network usage and usefulness. Or perhaps it's just realizing that you've told the phone to get new mail but not to worry about syncing, which is exactly what that config means. So, I wonder if gmail's IMAP server doesn't notify in IDLE for read marks going away, or does so in a non-standard or unusual way. > From: "Matthew R.

That only proves that it's an issue in the interaction between k-9 and the gmail IMAP server (which is big progress in figuring things out). To understand which of those two is wrong requires taking a trace of the protocol exchange and sitting down with the spec. Given that outlook works (presumably over IMAP rather than some proprietary interface), it seems likely that it's possible to adjust k-9, even if gmail turns out to be the one not following the spec. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
