First mail is received, fetchmail starts downloading it.

fetchmail: IMAP> A0011 STORE 1 +FLAGS (\Seen \Deleted) fetchmail: IMAP< * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen \Recent)) fetchmail: IMAP< * 2 EXISTS fetchmail: IMAP< * 2 RECENT fetchmail: IMAP< A0011 OK Store completed.

Second mail is received, Dovecot notifies fetchmail about it.

fetchmail: IMAP> A0013 IDLE fetchmail: IMAP< + idling

Fetchmail is buggy and ignores EXISTS events if they arrive during non-IDLE commands.
