Regularly synchronize IMAP folders in Mail
Authored by: marook on Jan 20, '05 05:34:15PM

One simple way to run this once in a while, would be to make a rule in Mail that triggers on 'Any Message' and then runs the script.

Then you would have mail to sync your folders every time you get mail - and only when mail is running.. ;-)

Regularly synchronize IMAP folders in Mail
Authored by: mnb on Feb 01, '05 04:41:27PM

The problem with that approach is two fold:

If you get no mail during a check, no synch will occur.

If you get 53 messages during a check, 53 synchs will occur.


There needs to be a way to perform a task on every mail check in order for this to work. Ideally, Apple would add a preference to synch with IMAP on every check and that would solve the problem.
