OnNewMessagesArrived never gets triggered

Question

This is my simplified code:

using ImapX;

private ImapClient Client { get; set; }

private void SetupListener(string mail, string password)
{
    Client = new ImapClient();
    Client.Connect("imap.gmx.net", 993, true);
    // Client.IsConnected == true

    Client.Login(mail, password);
    // Client.IsAuthenticated == true

    // Test 1
    Client.Folders.Inbox.OnNewMessagesArrived += MessageArrived;
    // Test 2
    Client.OnNewMessagesArrived += MessageArrived;
}

private void MessageArrived(object sender, IdleEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("This never pops up!");
}

This already shows up my problem. MessageArrived is never getting called. I tried this out with 2 different providers. Same problem for both (t-online.de and gmx.net).

Any idea whats going on in here?
The documentation isn't showing up anything else than this.

Answer 1

Please, try to call Client.Folders.Inbox.StartIdling(); after subscribing.

This will help you to receive messages in real time.

I refer to the documentation here

ImapX supports idle, so you can receive new messages just-in-time. Once new messages arrive in the current folder, they will be downloaded automatically and an event will be fired.
