BTW, CLEARIDLE and CHECKPOINT are presented as alternate solution to mobile e-mail.

I do not share that view. They are proposed improvement to IDLE. However IDLE poses significant problems for mobile e-mail:
- client battery life and processing reqs
- server scalability (open port per IDLE client! + queuing)
- overall efficiency.

We should not confuse improving IDLE vs addressimng the problem and use cases of mobile e-mail. I am less and less incline to using IDLE even as a sample option in P-IMAP.

Thanks
