Hi again
Please dont get me wrong, i already donate to claws devs and the bounty
was to try to catch any new developer, not really to the core devs, as
they already said they didnt want to do it.
Of course, my previous donation had no strings attached, other than to
say "Thanks". :)
As for the value, i have totally no idea the amount of work required, but
as it is already in the libetpan, i was guessing it would not be a big
work :)
i was also expecting other to pull forward and increase the bounty ;)
i may not even need this feature, i'm just looking for a way to my work
exchange server to not drop the connection... in the exchange, it takes a
LONG time to authenticate and even with with auto-check in 1 minute, it
keeps disconnecting...its very annoying to wait for the re-logon to be
able to read a email
i suspect a problem in exchange (as even with the noop, the exchange
disconnects), and AFAIK, IDLE enables a keep-alive in the imap
connection, so i would hope that would solve the problem... i dont really
want the new email notification, i just want to keep connected :)
by the way, i dont believe in instantaneous new email notification,
email is not IM and even local mail servers take a moment to deliver
email... a sane server will cope with polling every few minutes...
Sadly, exchange is not one sane server, but that is exchange
owners problem, if they dont like it, dont buy exchange... or buy
more hardware to cope with the load.
my work exchange server would be dead 2 years ago if someone had
the decency to ear me ;)
thanks

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
