IMAP IDLE

IMAP IDLE

In e-mail technology, IDLE is an IMAP feature described in RFC 2177 that allows a client to indicate to the server that it is ready to accept real-time notifications.

Significance

The IDLE feature allows IMAP e-mail users to see immediately any mailbox changes without having to undertake any action (eg clicking on a Refresh button).

Usage

IMAP4 servers that support IDLE will include this string in the result of their CAPABILITY command.
