IMAP IDLE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In e-mail technology, IDLE is an IMAP feature described in RFC 2177 that allows a client to indicate to the server that it is ready to accept real-time notifications.

[edit] Significance
The IDLE feature allows IMAP e-mail users to immediately receive any mailbox changes without having to undertake any action such as clicking on a refresh button, or having the e-mail client automatically and repeatedly ask the server for new messages.
[edit] Usage
IMAP4 servers that support IDLE will include this programming string in the result of their CAPABILITY command.
