           Summary: imap idle is not working
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: martin at fahrendorf.de


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

My imap server is able to handle the IDLE command (thunderbird works with
this), but kmail2 does not use it.

I have to enable cyclic polling to get new mails shown.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
disable cyclic polling and send in new mail.

Actual Results:  
No new mail is shown in kmail. Only if F5 of ctrl-L is pressed new mails are
listed.

Expected Results:  
list new mails

My imap server is cyrus version 2.3.7. On request from Andras Mantia I enabled
imap logging and the first lines are:

Then there is a long list of Folders with hasChildren or hasNoChildren
and after that

S: A000006 OK Completed ( 0.010 secs 165 calls )
C: A000007 LSUB "" *

and a long list of LSUB entries of the folders. After this I selected my
SOGo folder and got:

with a long list of numbers (IDs of the mails) and the last mail selected.

And Andras wrote that there shoulb be something like

but is not.
