[fetchmail-users] IMAP IDLE doesn't work right with davmail server

[Grant E. <gra...@gm...>]

I'm trying to use fetchmail with the davmail IMAP server, and it
doesn't seem to be working.  When new mail is received while the
connection is in an IDLE command, the server sends EXITS and RECENT
resonses, but fetchmail doesn't recognize them and never tries to
fetch the messages.  If I kill fetchmail and restart it, it will then
fetch the messages.

Here's what happens after an initial fetch has completed and the IDLE
command is sent:

fetchmail: IMAP< A0012 OK FETCH completed
 flushed
fetchmail: IMAP> A0013 STORE 1 +FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted)
fetchmail: IMAP< * 1 FETCH (UID 18266 FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted))
fetchmail: IMAP< A0013 OK STORE completed
fetchmail: IMAP> A0014 EXPUNGE
fetchmail: IMAP< * 1 EXPUNGE
fetchmail: IMAP< A0014 OK EXPUNGE completed
fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder
fetchmail: IMAP> A0015 IDLE
fetchmail: IMAP< + idling 
fetchmail: IMAP< * 2 EXISTS
fetchmail: IMAP> DONE
fetchmail: IMAP< * 2 RECENT
fetchmail: IMAP< * 5 EXISTS
fetchmail: IMAP< * 5 RECENT
fetchmail: IMAP< * 7 EXISTS
fetchmail: IMAP< * 7 RECENT
fetchmail: IMAP< * 8 EXISTS
fetchmail: IMAP< * 8 RECENT

That will continue as more e-mails are received...

Any ideas?
