So I have my own web server and I have IMAP IDLE. I decided to see if it actually works with the iPhone.

1) I setup the account on the iPhone.
2) I set the checking options to manual.
3) I send a test message to my account
4) I keep the iPhone awake since it will auto check when I unlock it.
5) I get the message about 3-4 minutes after it sends without doing anything, no auto checking and no manual checking

I don't really know how fast it should be, but I shouldn't be getting anything without manually refreshing. I am inclined to say this works, albeit a tad slow, but better than nothing.

Any ideas? Has anyone gotten similar results? I did some searching, but figured I would share my experience.
