Subject: [Imap-protocol] IDLE + inbox file
Message-ID: <11E08CAD-B343-4845-9C33-1DA80AFD652E@psu.edu>

Consider the following imap commands:

=
0 login userid passworD
1 select inbox
2 idle
=


This is the only connection to the inbox. Must a server tell the idle  
client when new messages arrive using the RECENT flag?

  Must a client issue DONE followed by some IMAP command(check/select/ 
etc) to know if new messages have arrived?

I thought I knew, but I can't get through the english in rfc 2177.

Thanks,
Jonathan
