If so I will probably leave it on. Does this mean I can tell my e-mail clients using IMAP not to check for new mail? At least current Mozillas (Thunderbird, Seamonkey...) use IDLE by default. And it won't hurt even if clients don't use it. I don't know about M$ products... My 0.02 is that IDLE makes a large perceptual difference for me on Thunderbird 1.5. The client responds faster to mailbox changes and from a user UI perspective it's what I expect to happen when some other process changes a folder. -- Scott Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> IBM Linux Technology Center
