Subject: noop() is undocumented
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 06:53:18 -0600
To: "Phil Pearl (Lobbes) via RT" <bug-Mail-IMAPClient [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: Glenn Golden <gdg [...] zplane.com>
$VERSION = 3.38. The noop() method is used in the example for reconnect(), but it is not itself documented.
Thanks for the report. I've added the following doc for the next release... =head2 noop Example: $imap->noop or die "noop failed: $@\n"; The B<noop> method performs an IMAP NOOP command. Per RFC3501 this command does nothing and always succeeds. However, if a connection times out or other errors occur while communicating with the server, this method can still fail. This command can be used as a periodic poll to check for (untagged) status updates (new messages, etc.) from the server and also to reset any inactivity/auto-logout timers the server may maintain.
Closing as fixed as 3.39 is released.
