The RFC only says SHOULD, ie:
|
|
|
|
Server
|
|
implementations that offer multiple simultaneous access to the same
|
|
mailbox SHOULD also send appropriate unilateral untagged FETCH and
|
|
EXPUNGE responses if another agent changes the state of any message
|
|
flags or expunges any messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, Gmail never sends unsolicited untagged FETCH responses. This
|
|
has been documented in our help center since day one, ie:
|
|
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78761?hl=en&ref_topic=3397501
|
|
|
|
This was done due to the expensive nature of providing that feature with
|
|
the capabilities our backend had. We've been working on adding support for
|
|
this for some time, but I'm not sure when/if it will ever launch.
