    IMAP suggestions

    I am building a mail app, which includes a lot of classes. The classes
    all inherit from a base class which opens a connection to the imap
    server so that it's easy to get messages, etc.

    Can anyone suggest the best way of maintaining a persistent stream so I
    don't have to keep reopening the connection to the server?

      Re: IMAP suggestions

      Hi,

      You can use a caching IMAP proxy like up-imapproxy (freshmeat.net/
      projects/imapproxy/). This is suggested to ease high load with webmail
      clients like SquirrelMail or horde.

      Alternatively, you could just cache the mailbox headers and invalidate
      it based on imap_status / imap_check.

      Downloading headers usually takes the most time, but if you want to
      persist the socket, you can cook something up with Net_IMAP and
      pfsockopen.

      Regards,

      John Peters
