check method

Future<Mailbox> check()

Trigger a check operation for the server's housekeeping.

The CHECK command requests a checkpoint of the currently selected mailbox. A checkpoint refers to any implementation-dependent housekeeping associated with the mailbox (e.g., resolving the server's in-memory state of the mailbox with the state on its disk) that is not normally executed as part of each command. A checkpoint MAY take a non-instantaneous amount of real time to complete. If a server implementation has no such housekeeping considerations, CHECK is equivalent to NOOP.

There is no guarantee that an EXISTS untagged response will happen as a result of CHECK. NOOP, not CHECK, SHOULD be used for new message polling. Compare noop, idleStart

Implementation

Future<Mailbox> check() {
  final cmd = Command('CHECK');
  return sendCommand<Mailbox>(cmd, NoopParser(this, _selectedMailbox));
}
