From: Greg Banks I may as well stop pretending I'm not looking at this. |

From: Sébastien Michel (In reply to comment #4) The timeout will be reached on one network equipment like FW or LB. Don't worry about this issue, it seems that not lot of people are complaining about that. I will update the patch later after you commit your refactoring. |
From: Adam Tauno Williams Referencing "IMAP IDLE is not supported by android" (from comment 1). This is not entirely true. IMAP IDLE isn't supported or used by the Android 'default' non-gmail mail client, it isn't really "unsupported". The excellent K-9 IMAP/POP/SMTP client for Android does support IMAP IDLE and works with Cyrus IMAPd. As for it consuming too much battery, I don't see that on my phone; K-9 consumes less power than many other applications according to the power meter. This is probably just another thinly veiled excuse for Google providing inferior support for non-proprietary services. |
From: Greg Banks Sorry, I have to throw this one back in the pool :( |
