noop

Arguments: mailbox

This function does nothing but remind the imap or pop server that this client is still active, thus resetting the timers used in the server that will automatically shut down this connection after a period of inactivity. Like all other commands if messages have been added to the currently selected mailbox, the server will return the new message count as a response to the noop command, and this can be checked using mailbox-message-count.

For a pop server, a `stat' command is sent by noop (rather than an actual `noop' command), so that, after this command is completed the mailbox-message-count will contain the current count of messages in the mailbox.

See imap.htm for more information.
