The main purpose here is to reduce the number of imap processes and the amount of memory they use by moving IDLEing connections into imap-hibernate processes where they are waiting for something to happen (changes to the mailbox or IMAP client to do something). Mailbox changes are noticed only if inotify/kqueue is enabled, so without them the hibernation feature won't work well.

Wow!
I remember you told us about such a development some times ago; many, many thanks for having persevered.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to test that feature in a near future. In the meantime, I’ll be enthusiastically reading any report our list’s fellows could share. :-)
