Which brings me to another question for Timo..

Running Dovecot 1.0.3 on OS X 10.4.10 here. Which --with-notify  
compile time option would you suggest?  dnotify, inotify, kqueue, or  
none.

P.S. The version of 1.0.3 that we're currently running was compiled  
without a "with-notify" instruction. It still appears to implement  
some form of idle / notify.  We've tested with Thunderbird and  
Apple's Mail.app (with imap-idle-plugin installed).  Even though both  
clients have been set NOT to check mail on an interval we are still  
notified when mail arrives.
