My mail is stored under ~/mail/.imap (not sure what this format is called), I mean not "single file mbox".
I have not changed any IDLE related config settings:
doveconf | grep -i idle default_idle_kill = 1 mins director_ping_idle_timeout = 30 secs imap_idle_notify_interval = 2 mins imapc_max_idle_time = 29 mins mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 secs
What can I do to make Dovecot notify IDLE clients about flags changes - more quickly? Preferably near-instant?
It should simply just work, assuming there aren't any weird inotify limits, but you should get errors logged about reaching those. You could see if it makes any difference to set mailbox_idle_check_interval=1s
