IMAP takes a variable time to read emails depending on my inbox

Open dchicchon opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When I create an IMAP connection to my work email, I noticed that emails would be read after a period of around 5 minutes. However, when I utilized my personal email for the connection I noticed the IMAP would read this emails as soon as they came in. Is there a specific setting that I need to utilize when using this package?

I've read the antivirus software could prevent the immediate picking up my inbox emails but I'm unsure.

I noticed the same. For me, the cause was that there were about 300 mails in the inbox. After deleting them, new mails are recogniced immediately.
