[imapfilter-devel] enter_idle errors out of pcall

[Paul]

Hello all,

The main part of my script is this:

     print "Idle..."
     update = pcall(frommailbox:enter_idle())

Once idle exits, it loops around and processes whatever arrived in the 
mailbox.

However, once in a while I get this:

     imapfilter: reading data; EOF in violation of the protocol

I get this when the idle session is broken for whatever reason - 
internet connection fails for example.   But the purpose of the pcall 
was to handle this, so if enter_idle fails for any reason, I don't care, 
and am happy to loop around and get back the idle.

But no, the script exits anyway.  Is there someway I can keep this going 
- have I done the pcall wrong - or  do I need to wrap the actual call to 
imapfilter in a loop?

Thanks,

Paul
