Hi, I wanted to try imap_idle=yes, with gmail. I unset mail_check and timeout, then set imap_passive and imap_idle to 'yes'.
I run tcpdump to see what happens (gmail TLS though) I saw that when sending a new email (from another account), gmail send a packet to mutt (which reply), but sadly, the index is not refreshed until I hit, eg, the 'i' key. I would have expected that imap_idle would refresh the screen as a new email is received but that's not the case. I _guess_ that it may be hard to check whether or not the email has been received in the currently opened (displayed) mailbox and refresh it only if needed but I thought it was what imap_idle was there for in the first place. (but I would be surprised if the IMAP IDLE spec would not deal with this problem) Did I missed an option ? Do you know about a thread/ticket on this subject ? I wasn't able to find one so far. thanks Raphaël
