syncing IMAP mailbox doesn't work if computer goes to sleep

[Kieran Forde <kieran.forde@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has a solution for this .... 


I use mutt with my gmail account  ... here are my settings :

Mutt version : 1.5.17
OS : Mac OS X (10.4.11)

set imap_idle
set imap_user = 'my_username@xxxxxxxxx'
set imap_pass = 'my_pass'
set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Google Mail]/Sent Mail"
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Google Mail]/Drafts"
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/mutt_certificates 


If I delete mail and then sync the mailboxes with '$' command the mail 
disappears from my mutt index page BUT if my laptop goes to sleep and 
the mutt session is terminated the next time I log into mutt the deleted mails 
are back. I thought syncing brought everything up-to-date?? If I log out after 
deleting the 
mails (using 'q' and then 'y' to confirm the deletion of the mail) and log back 
in again 
the mail remains deleted ... this is my only solution but it is a bit of a pain 
.... is 
there any other way of doing this??

Thanks in advance,

Kieran
