Yes, Java mail supports this. It does not appear to be implemented in Camel mail though. It would be great to be able to use an event driven model when integrating with an imap server.
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/imap/IMAPStore.html#idle() Java Mail API IDLE link "Use the IMAP IDLE command (see RFC 2177), if supported by the server, to enter idle mode so that the server can send unsolicited notifications without the need for the client to constantly poll the server. Use a ConnectionListener to be notified of events. When another thread (e.g., the listener thread) needs to issue an IMAP comand for this Store, the idle mode will be terminated and this method will return. Typically the caller will invoke this method in a loop." Claus Ibsen-2 wrote: > > Hi > > Can you explain a bit more about this?
