IDLE command only runs once

[Leon Bogaert]

Hi all,

I'm currentyle using offlineimap against an Exchange server
(Exchange<->Dovecot) with the IDLE extension.

The problem is the IDLE command is triggered only once per refresh. If a
second new mail arrives before the refresh it isn't processed by
offlineimap.

I did a "-d imap" but I didn't see anything odd. I tried to debug with
wireshark but even when I specified "ssl = no" the connection is
encrypted with tls so I couldn't see what was going on.

I've tried upping the number of connections very high: that didn't make
a difference.
I've cleaned my inbox so it only contains the message from 2011: didn't
make a difference.

I once spent an evening trying to debug the code but I couldn't really
pinpoint where it was going wrong. I found one thing out: if I commented
out the retrieving of new messages after an IDLE command it kept
working.

I would really appreciate it if somebody could take a look at this. I
could provide them with a mailbox on my company's Exchange server.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Leon
