Your IDLEPLUS proposal is at best a duplication of work that is already well underway in the LEMONADE Working Group; as such, it is doomed to failure.
However, you may have acquired some insights in your effort that could be valuable to the working group effort. Thus, my recommendation is that you abandon your effort, join the LEMONADE Working Group, read the archives of the mailing list, read the documents of the working group, and consider how what you learned in your effort may be useful for LEMONADE.

I am working on an IDLEPLUS extension. The main purpose of this extension is to go beyond RFC2177 and provide a fully working push email solution without the need for expensive polling. The basic idea is to offer a channel which provides all required notifications to an IMAP client.I expect that clients decide to open a second permanent imap connection in order to never miss any notification.Please have a look at http://www.erfrakon.de/konold/draft-konold-imap-idleplus-01.txt Is anyone else working on something similar? Any hints to a novice internet draft author? Yours, -- martin -- http://www.erfrakon.com/ Erlewein, Frank, Konold & Partner - Beratende Ingenieure und Physiker
