Description-en: watch mailstores for changes and initiate mailbox syncs - client tools
mswatch is a command line Unix program that keeps two mailboxes
synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically
synchronizing them.
.
mswatch watches mailboxes for changes to know when to initiate mailbox
syncs. Using mswatch, your mail synchronization program can be called
on demand instead of through polling, resulting in prompter mail
delivery and lower bandwidth usage and server load.
.
mswatch is designed to work in conjunction with mailbox synchronization
programs, and currently supports watching Linux (2.4+) hosted Maildirs
(including Maildir folders, Maildir++). Future support for additional
mailbox formats, especially for mbox, is planned.
.
This package provides the mswatch tools for use on the imap client
host.
