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

Interesting idea, but my suspicion is that this would kill the little battery life we already have...

Yeah, thats exactly what I've been doing, but its kind of a pain because you have to switch over to your gmail account to respond. It's nice to get rid of that intermediate step.

I've been keeping an eye on that - it kinda stopped being developed in September, and I thought it still had issues.

We'll the latest I've seen from the developer was last week saying that he was putting the "finishing touches" on the next release, so it looks like it's still going.

It'll function the same as PUSH and Exchange as far as battery life. So if you're already using PUSH, I doubt you'll notice a difference.

True, you made a excellent point! :headbang:

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

I have been using this for couple days now and seems to work pretty well . it does occasionally stop working and conflicts if active sync happens to be running. I have been trying a couple different options and so far i like it the best.

I tried the mail2web thing and worked great except for the fact it signed all mail as XXXXX@mail2web.com which didn't work for me so i upgraded to the $4.95 a month plan and you could change your from to address so it would send the way you liked . then i discovered it only would send in plain text not in HTML so that also didn't work for me either.

So far this app is almost there it would me great if you could schedule it to turn off like at night then on in the am.

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

Does anyone know if this will handle multiple gmail accounts ? Or just a single one ?

Thanks.

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

Doesn't work for me...

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

I have been using the gmail exchange push capability (http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo) direct from google. While I have not yet tried to use this IMAP solution (I have 2 non gmail IMAP accounts) i will probably try it. I only mention this because of the multiple gmail comments.

Thanks!
