I ran mail-notification with the "-i" option and got the following output: ----------- mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: resolving een4aml.imap.leeds.ac.uk mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: connecting to een4aml.imap.leeds.ac.uk (129.11.21.12) port 143 mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: connected successfully mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS] mailgrp2 IMAP4rev1 2006c.374 at Thu, 14 Dec 2006 11:04:15 +0000 (GMT) mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: > a000 LOGIN "een4aml" "richie41" mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < a000 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE UIDPLUS NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] User een4aml authenticated mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: > a001 EXAMINE "INBOX" mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * 626 EXISTS mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * 0 RECENT mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1122575355] UID validity status mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * OK [UIDNEXT 6809] Predicted next UID mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * FLAGS (NonJunk Junk $MDNSent $Forwarded \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen) mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Permanent flags mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < a001 OK [READ-ONLY] EXAMINE completed mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: > a002 SEARCH UNSEEN mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * SEARCH mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < a002 OK SEARCH completed mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: > a003 IDLE mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < + Waiting for DONE mail-notification-INFO: Leeds Mail: < * OK Timeout in 30 minutes ---------------- (The last line appeared a few minutes after the rest.)
