I thought about a simple way to implement this.
mailbox_notify_changes() wants an interval so why not change cmd- 
idle.c to something like.

cmd-idle.c:252
#ifdef IOLOOP_NOTIFY_NONE
   str = getenv("MAILBOX_IDLE_CHECK_INTERVAL");
   interval = str == NULL ? 0 : (unsigned int)strtoul(str, NULL, 10);
   if (interval == 0)
     interval = DEFAULT_IDLE_CHECK_INTERVAL;
#else
   interval = 1;
#endif

So all other notifies just default to an interval of 1 and ignore the  
setting in the config file.

Kind regards,
Michael
