in thread IMAP IDLE Support

18-months later, and I'm in the same boat as stu42j.

I've searched and found Mail::IMAPClient, and also this node.

But, I too can't find anything in the docs that explains how to use the IDLE/DONE commands. There seems to be no way to trap any new message notification from the server when in an idle state.

Anyone got any ideas?

    If you are still looking for the answer just check in the test file: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MARKOV/Mail-IMAPClient-3.16/t/basic.t Down near the bottom you see the test for idle.
