Description mi+kde 2004-05-20 01:51:41 UTC

Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 [FreeBSD] 20031106
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 5.2-CURRENT

My mail server user procmail for local mail delivery. Procmail can send the comsat new-mail notifications to any host:port. These notifications include the file name on the server.

I'd like to be able to configure kmail to listen to some ports for such notifications (possibly from multiple mail servers), map the file-names to folder names and automaticly re-check the folders, when notifications arrive instead of periodicly polling for new mail.

Thanks!

In Germany, mail-push-clients like Blackberry are very popular (why?)
So i tried the following scenario.

Own comsat service on mail-server
with authentication and utmp-like database

My client knows the following data
- kmail-account with user and password
- comsat-server address and proto/port

Client authenticate itself with the comsat service.
Comsat saves client address and port.

Comsat is informed by MDA, lookup users address/port in utmp-like database,
connect to client to say hello.

Client receives the comsat message, lookup the kmail account for it and calls 
dcop kmail KMailIface checkAccount $account$
Thus i don't need to poll accounts regulary.

I got experimental client/server working in perl.
Integration with kmail would be nice!

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
