Description
The example config for idlefolders says:
In between synchronisations, Offlineimap can monitor mailboxes for new
messages using the IDLE command. If you want to enable this, specify here the
folders you wish to monitor. IMAP protocol requires a separate connection for
each folder monitored in this way, so setting this option will force settings
for:
- maxconnections: to be at least the number of folders you give
- holdconnectionopen: to be true
- keepalive: to be 29 minutes unless you specify otherwise
- singlethreadperfolder: to be true
The setting autorefresh is not mentioned, but under holdconnectionopen, it
says:
This setting has no effect if autorefresh is not set.
… and indeed, idlefolders do not work unless autorefresh is explicitly
set. I think this setting should be similarly forced like
holdconnectionopen.
