IMAP IDLE / IMAP Push for the E-Mail app [released]

Even having notify support for a single folder would be a great boon for me: I have a special folder for priority mail that should trigger notifications (I don't expect notifications from the main INBOX, I use it more asynchronously).

Looks like neither dovecot nor cyrus support NOTIFY right now. Did I miss something? Is there a similar alternative that does?

works like charm - changed setting for my peak to "Always-up-to-date", all apps closed, notify aboud new email with max delay from thunderbird

Update 8 will -probably- bring per account sync schedule which @VDVsx said is a prerequisite. I suspect -pure speculation here- it will be in update 9 or 10.

Yes enablers are now in place, unfortunately there are some not related nasty bugs around that need attention before introduction this new feature, so can't promise atm.

@VDVsx Can you update us on the status of IMAP IDLE implementation? Can we expect it before year's end?

No promises, at the moment it just needs integration with the system(i.e few strings in acctts + integration with msyncd scheduler), works well by my tests, but unfortunately I got some other tasks and was unable to finish it. When latest code is released would be possible to enable from command line at least.

@VDVsx Thank you for the info! :) Sounds promising. CLI is OK, it can be even used for community testing like the connman patch before releasing. :)

Do you have the "Always-up-to-date" option in the settings for that account ? If so and enabled you can try to send emails to the device, they should arrive almost immediately depending on your provider.

rly it doesnt work as expected.

after system update to 1.4 i set allways-update and as mail client was already openned, maybe i did manual update, it worked. then i set offpeak to twiceday, peak (starting monday at 9) allways-up-to-date

i restarted phone yesterday and didnt touch email, this morning when i took phone at 10'clock i was expected to see new emails (peak 9-17), but nothing, i had to open mail, update and then i got them all, so i close email client, asked for test email, and it arrived and i got notifications

so there is no connection to server after phone fresh boot until mail is openned (synced)

That shouldn't be needed, but I noticed that network is not notifying all the time, specially when you alternate from wifi to mobile or vice-versa.

today i rebooted in peak time and got emails right after phone boots, will see tomorrow morning :) i dont switch from wlan to mobile ...

i disabling mobile data sometimes, will see if it start notify or not after got back online

@pan tau - So you have mobile data on ? or also wlan sometimes ? what I meant is automatic switch the phone does that when there are available known wlan networks.
