No, it does not preclude proper configurations. It simply means that an IMAP client is able receive push-mail, based on the state of a folder/mailbox changing on the server's side. It simply means that the client does not need to poll. It is dependent on the polling interval set on the server's side, for the IMAP-IDLE response. I have mine currently set for 10 seconds, and it performs well. interesting.. I am thinking only Blackberry-related device/server can have push mail So did I - seems Blackberry enjoyed that misconception :-)

Hi Harry, Only observation is that Courier-IMAP appears, nevertheless, to be more resource intensive than, say, Dovecot which I have a running on a separate server with Postfix - that would seem to be just the nature of the beast. I have been testing Dovecot on the side as a possible replacement for Courier in QmailToaster 1.4 branch. In my testing, Dovecot does use a lot less resources. I've gotten it to work with some success, but it doesn't behave quite right with existing folders. Dovecot also doesn't have quota support, so this fails to work with the SquirrelMail quota plugin. If someone can give me some techniques or info for integration with QmailToaster + existing folders, perhaps we can eventually move in this direction. Otherwise, I'll skip it since I don't have the time to get this all debugged and pushed out for 1.4.
