+<PRE>Chris Boyle &lt;<A HREF="mailto:fetchmail-friends@cmb.is-a-geek.org">fetchmail-friends@cmb.is-a-geek.org</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> Here's a patch I've written: where IDLE is unavailable, it uses periodic
+</I>&gt;<i> NOOP commands instead (every 28 seconds). Important behavioural change:
+</I>&gt;<i> the option &quot;idle&quot; will now always result in *some* form of idle. I think
+</I>&gt;<i> I read somewhere that some servers will unilaterally send status updates
+</I>&gt;<i> if you just hold the connection open, i.e. NOOPs would be unnecessary,
+</I>&gt;<i> but that doesn't seem to be the case anywhere I've tried. In any case,
+</I>&gt;<i> this patch copes with updates both as a response to the NOOPs and
+</I>&gt;<i> unilaterally sent between them. It functions exactly like normal idling
+</I>&gt;<i> (N.B. like normal idling, it is single-folder only), and hopefully
+</I>&gt;<i> includes all the appropriate changes to the documentation. Enjoy. :-)
+</I>&gt;<i>

+Nice work. This will be in 6.2.4.
