Mail.app's IMAP Idle Plugin offers support for IMAP IDLE implementation, which enables swift updates on a user's inbox without the need for manual refreshing. This feature ensures that the user always has the latest information in their mailbox.
The IMAP Idle Plugin is a useful tool for Apple's mail client (Mail.app) users who manage IMAP accounts. However, the software lacks support for the IDLE extension (RFC 2177), which enables the server to notify clients when new mail arrives. This means that clients have to poll or wait for new mail, making the process slower than expected.
Luckily, the IMAP Idle Plugin brings IDLE support to Mail.app. With this plugin, users can open a connection for each IMAP account, select the INBOX, and enable IDLE mode to wait for new messages. When a new message arrives, the plugin notifies Mail.app to check for new mail, making the process quick and hassle-free.
The latest version of the IMAP Idle Plugin comes with new features and improvements. The new release requests Mail to sync and fetch data, addressing user reports that showed just a sync wouldn't catch new mail. Additionally, the plugin fixes a memory management issue that previously caused occasional crashes.
Overall, the IMAP Idle Plugin is an excellent software for Mail.app users who want to manage IMAP accounts efficiently. It provides a quick and reliable solution to receive new mail notifications and check for new mail, eliminating the need for polling or waiting for extended periods.
