Still no luck. Basically, I see the plugin register with the mail server and report that it is entering IDLE mode and that it is SELECTED and IDLING, but nothing happens. The events never come from the server even though they come to Chatter on my Treo. Just a whole lot of sitting and waiting and nothing happening. Console log looks pretty much like what I sent before. Regards, Jeff I tried 1.03. Still no luck.

When I woke up my PB from sleep today, shortly thereafter, Mail.app crashed. This has never happened to me before, and seems related to the IDLE plugin. FYI. Another bit of feedback.

Easily the best email I have used on the Treo. The UI is excellent, very easy to use and the price is minima.. It's much better than Snapper and at a lower price and more functionality for IMAP. Not quite as responsive as a Blackberry, but damn close. I do not use Exchange, but I do use Chatter+ which has built in SSL for secure IMAP. It works great with IDLE. All messages are delivered nearly instantaneously. Highly recommend. Another note: as for 1.02, I still get very sporadic or no delivery of mail. Even while Chatter works perfectly. And if I turn off Chatter, 1.02 still behaves the same on my Powerbook. Not sure, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I use SSL for incoming IMAP mail and TLS for outsoing SMTP mail. For now, I've gone back to polling every 5 minutes. Chatter is great. Easily the best email I have used on the Treo. The UI is excellent, very easy to use and the price is minima..
