[Courier-imap] Push Email.

[Lydiard <ly...@sp...>]

Hi

Seems like a bizarre place to ask, but nevertheless...

I've search sourceforge, freshmeat and google, but not had luck.  Does anyone
know of an Open Source package that will "push" emails to a handheld device
(think BlackBerry and the like..)?

BlackBerry (taking the market leader as an example) offer an enterprise server
(BES) for connection to an Exchange or Notes server.  Or, desktop software for
people who can leave a machine running in the office while away on buisness
(and who does that??).  Alternatively, they offer a cludgey web system that
reroutes all yoru mail through their @blackberrynet.com servers - and whilst
this can be setup to come from and look like bus...@co..., it
looks messy to me.

Logically, running the super IMAP, what I'm looking for is SW that I can install
on the server, will immediately notice a new (or edited/replied to/forwarded)
email, and "push" this out to the registered device.  Naturally, an emails
replied to and or forwarded from the deivce should show up in the desktop
client the next time it's loaded, etc.

Any one know of such a thing?  If not, does anyone want to build one?? ;)

Any ideas, hints or tangents gratefully reviewed.

THanks.
