Push notification plugin is Dovecot's internal system for sending these events. Enabling it by itself won't do anything for end users. [...]
Thanks. So typical IMAP-based MUAs indeed need to either rely on IDLE or fall back to polling Dovecot. That's why I never had the need to enable Dovecot's push notication plugin, but still receive a heads-up when new mail arrives. That's what I understood to be the OP's requirement, too.
