Thunderbird can IDLE since long time, but does polling, if the number of 
allowed connections is exceeded. So, IDLE or polling is transparent to the 
users, except if some new-message indicator is not as quick as usual.

IMHO, this behaviour is the "default", if one will named it as such, 
because it makes the most sense and an ordinary user is not able to choose 
correctly, most of the time.

If somebody has already prepared a paper, when the load of x IDLE 
connections exceeds the load of polling of x folders for an amount of y 
simultaneous users? :-)
