hi,

i couldn't kmail get to work in disconncted imap push mode - my android (k9mail) receives the mail instant and kmail only on the 5minute interval check.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38.6-zen-01981-ga3c54ec
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

Confirmed in kmail 2.1.96, akonadi 1.5.80

This would be a really useful feature to reduce server load!

Isn't it server dependent? I receive email within 10 seconds on all my IMAP servers except for one that does not seem to support push mode. Latest 4.6 release, so maybe a regression?

Could you try to deactivate the interval checking? So basically tell KMail to not try to fetch mail on its own? Perhaps IMAP_IDLE is not used when interval checking is enabled.

i rebuild kmail and now disabling the interval check really seems to work, hopefully it stays this way.

For usability there should really be some server capabilities checking and promt the user that push (idle) is available and select it by default
