<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> 
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://cmb.is-a-geek.org/downloads/fetchmail-6.2.2+noopidle.diff.gz">http://cmb.is-a-geek.org/downloads/fetchmail-6.2.2+noopidle.diff.gz</A>

Nice work.  This will be in 6.2.4.
