N810 Users Fix for email client IMAP

[cornbread]

After upgrading my Nokia N810 to the newest (diablo) firmware. My email hasn't worked. I knew they switched email clients to the new Modest client after setting up my account on my n810 about 5 times with different account details (always using IMAP) I would get the same result. A drafts folder would pop up and it would say connecting indefinitely.

Come to find out that the Modest client uses IMAP-IDLE and after some googling I also find out that it is disabled by default in zimbra.

To find out whether or not IMAP-IDLE is enabled on your server:

su - zimbra or sudo su zimbra (which ever you prefer)

zmlocalconfig | grep nio_imap_enable

if your output looks like this:

nio_imap_enable = false
nio_imap_enabled = false

and you do want to enable IMAP-IDLE you can run this command:

zmlocalconfig -e nio_imap_enable=true
zmlocalconfig -e nio_imap_enabled=true

and finally you can restart your server with:

zmcontrol stop && zmcontrol start

Congratulations! Your freshly upgraded N810 works with Zimbra! The only issue I have found so far is that for some reason I keep getting a tag created called $Label1 other than that IMAP is working on N810

You have confused IMAP IDLE and our beta NIO IMAP implementation. You're welcome to beta-test NIO IMAP for us, but it is not GA-certified yet and as such you're running a risk.

You should file a bug and include an IMAP protocol trace from the server.

So how do you enable IMAP IDLE then?

I am testing with a Blackberry Pearl. I have it setup with gmail and email is instant, but is delayed from the Zimbra server. I suspect it doesn't support IMAP IDLE somehow or is not enabled?

IMAP IDLE should be enabled by default on 5.0.1.

Please open a bug report in bugzilla if you're not seeing it work. Include your mobile device type as well as the exact version of the Zimbra server that you're running!
