Check for IMAP IDLE Mailbox Updates

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Imap.IdleCheck method, which waits for mailbox updates after IdleStart has entered IDLE mode. The only argument is a timeout in milliseconds; 0 performs a non-blocking poll of notifications already received. This example waits up to 30 seconds.
