Re: IMAP IDLE application!!! Finally!!!

Implements the IMAP IDLE protocol

IMAP servers can tell IMAP clients when new mail arrives, vs having them poll. This is the standard way of doing "PUSH EMAIL" in IMAP. Microsoft, never one to look at a standard without thinking "how do I do this some other way" made up their own, identical (er, better) but non-standard method for WinMo that only works with Exchange.

This little app logs into your IMAP server for you and just does the IDLE part... when it is notified there is new mail it kicks off the email app to go and get it, and hey presto you have PUSH EMAIL for your IMAP-based email (including gmail)

That's it.
