A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
This is not really a Mac OS X hint at all... But in any case, I had the same problem.
A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
No, that's a feature, not a bug! IMAP has the nice feature of unsollicitedly giving notice to a client when something changes, like when new mail arrives, but for that the connection needs to stay open. That way one doesn't need to ask the server every n minutes if there's new mail.
A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
Not for mail. This is not part of the IMAP spec, it's an extension called IDLE, it only works if the client supports it. From analysing my logs, mail does not support it.
A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
Not from firsthand experience, but I've heard that Outlook also does this to IMAP servers in IMAP mode. Could the Exchange compaible features added to Mail.app have made Mail.app behave more like Outlook? Their synchronization is really designed for a LAN environment and does not seem to work with a dialup connection at all let alone servers with connection limits. |
