Did you know that Apple iOS doesn't support IMAP IDLE? macOS does, but not iOS. iOS only fetches from your server a few times per hour. I’d periodically open the Mail app to watch it fetch new email. Lame. What if one of those had been important?

Did you also know there’s a plug-in for the Dovecot IMAP server that will send an Apple push notification every time you get a new email, triggering an immediate fetch? Apple uses this to add that Exchange-like magic to iCloud’s IMAP servers, but someone made their own open-source implementation.

I tried setting it all up, but after running into problems with the documentation, I decided it was time to blog about it, so that you can do it, too. https://colincogle.name/push
