IDLE extension for go-imap.
This extension has been merged into go-imap. Use built-in support instead of this repository!
// Let's assume c is an IMAP client
var c *client.Client
// Select a mailbox
if _, err := c.Select("INBOX", false); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
idleClient := idle.NewClient(c)
// Create a channel to receive mailbox updates
updates := make(chan client.Update)
c.Updates = updates
// Start idling
done := make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
done <- idleClient.IdleWithFallback(nil, 0)
}()
// Listen for updates
for {
select {
case update := <-updates:
log.Println("New update:", update)
case err := <-done:
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println("Not idling anymore")
return
}
}s.Enable(idle.NewExtension())MIT
