Hmm, seems yes. Osx Leopard built in Mail application have now the IDLE check box. Does it mean, that now need to use the classic "check for new mail after xx minute" at all? Btw, seems in Thunderbird this imap push works well.
Isn't one downside to IDLE that only the current selected folder works?
yes
Ie, if you are in a folder other than Inbox, you wouldn't get IDLE
A common approach for clients using IDLE as a push alternative is to open multiple connections, running an IDLE in each mailbox.
For example, I currently have ChatterEmail running on my Treo with 5 open connections to my Dovecot server, one for each of 5 folders.
