IMAP Idle release (for Lift)

A release of a library to let your Lift app listen for incoming email.

• Improvements for temporary network failure. We now monitor and disconnect if IDLEing for more than 30 minutes, as a way to catch socket errors hidden by IDLE.

• If disconnected from the IMAP server, we now request all waiting messages on a reconnect.

• Switched to SBT 0.10.1.

• Now also publishing source and javadoc into the repository.

This version is available for Lift 2.4-M3 for Scala 2.8.1 and 2.9.0-1.

The IMAP IDLE external Lift Module provides push-like email facilities so your Lift web application can be notified when email arrives.

Use in your Boot like this:

ImapIdle.init { m: javax.mail.Message =>
  println("You've got mail: "+EmailUtils.dump(m))
  true // delete the email on the server
}
