Subject: [Imap-protocol] idle and multi-mailbox access

Hello,
|
|
|
|
I was possibly planning to implement IDLE on my IMAP client prototype
|
|
(http://www.etpanX.org) to know (mostly) real-time the count of unread
|
|
messages on the mailboxes but I fell on the following problem:
|
|
Theorically, if we suppose that any mail can be delivered to any
|
|
mailbox (especially because of server-side filters), you have to show
|
|
the the user for all subscribed mailboxes the status of the mailbox.
|
|
So that I have to make a connection for each mailbox to request IDLE
|
|
from the server.
|
|
I have more than 10 mailboxes.
|
|
In practice since many servers won't allow that much connections
|
|
(because of resource usage), this is not possible to do this. Many
|
|
servers will limit to 3 connections.
|
|
Then, use of IDLE is not possible to do this.
|
|
|
|
The other possibility is to use the old-poll-sheme using STATUS.
|
|
|
|
is the following draft supposed to solve that problem ?
