Subject: [Imap-protocol] Is SELECT required before FETCH to detect new mail?
|
|
Message-ID: <bb8d0ae1-dda0-dbce-186a-2a668946ec7b@chartertn.net>

I have been seeing a problem with mozilla Thunderbird client when using
|
|
the charter.net imap server. When thunderbird checks for new messages it
|
|
just does a FETCH since the inbox was already SELECTed at startup. It
|
|
does not detect new messages unless another mailbox is SELECTed and
|
|
inbox is re-SELECTED and then FETCHed. I think thunderbird is following
|
|
the IMAP spec but charter.net server is not since it requires a
|
|
re-SELECT on and already selected mailbox to signal new email. Am I right?
