[Kolab-devel] Pseudo Push over IMAP (discussion)

[Bernhard Reiter]

Just a tiny bit for reference:
There are a few comments in the following LWN thread about the IMAP protocol
and "pseudo-push" for several mailboxfolders (aka mailboxes in the IMAP 
slang):

Links mentioned:
http://mswatch.sourceforge.net/  (the "why" section)

Mark Crispin, does not see this capability [multi-
 mailbox IDLE] as belonging in IMAP:

There is a Lemonade working group:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-notify-07

In 2006 and 2007 Martin also made a suggestion how to fix this problem:

For Kolab-Clients this is interesting as we want to solve the problem
of pseudo-push at some time of course.
Of used IMAP server and Kolab Clients must implement one of
the proposed solutions. :)


Best,
Bernhard
