Yes, except I had been finding there were times (e.g. the first 5 tests I did today which didn't notify, and the one where it did notify, but only after 6 minutes) > Alas, many users report IDLE isn't super-reliable.

You can probably use a combination of push on 1st class folders and polling on 2nd class folders, I don't but it's a potentially useful concept. > To what minimum interval can you configure K9 to poll? 15 mins. > I don't know if it was the Feb 29 update to 6.800 that > changed to the 15-min min poll interval, or a slightly older version > that changed the minimum. Dunno, not been into settings for a while.
