In e-mail technology, IDLE is an IMAP feature described in RFC 2177 that allows a client to indicate to the server that it is ready to accept real-time notifications.

Significance

The IDLE feature allows IMAP e-mail users to immediately receive any mailbox changes without having to undertake any action such as clicking on a refresh button, or having the e-mail client automatically and repeatedly ask the server for new messages.

Usage

IMAP4 servers that support IDLE will include the programming string "IDLE" in the result of their CAPABILITY command. This allows email users to receive near instant notification of a new email.
