This is the demo user interface of the tinymail E-mail client development framework.
It shows the feature "Push E-mail" on an IMAP server (Cyrus). On IMAP "Push E-mail" can be done using RFC 2177, or in human wording: the IMAP IDLE support.
Push E-mail means that the server will notify the client about changes. It means that the client must not poll for changes anymore. Unneccesary such polling can consume bandwidth. GPRS users often have to pay per MB consumed. Which is why Push E-mail is an often requested feature for mobile devices.
