iPhone will not notify for new mail in any folder, except INBOX - it's 
IMAP limitation.
IMAP IDLE monitor only one selected folder.
If you need notifying of new mail in copule of mail folders you shold 
look for ActiveSync realization.
On small mailboxes it's z-push and tine20 for example - they can use 
IMAP server as backend.
