[imapfilter-devel] IDLE for multiple accounts

[Brendan Hide]

Hi guys

I was wondering if it is supported to enter_idle() on multiple accounts
simultaneously.

I have 2 accounts I filter and am currently polling both together every
5 minutes. I think using IDLE would go a long way except that it appears
if I use IDLE it can only work on one account at a time, thus causing
unnecessary delays in the processing of the "other" account.

Thanks

This isn't supported...

What you could do is have 2 instances of imapfilter running. Each
instance would have its own configuration file and would act on one of
the two servers.
