its called IDLE, and it already works in dovecot. used it on a treo last year.
hopefully apple is using IDLE, and not their own hack.
IIRC, IDLE doesn't monitor unsubscribed folders. I have about 100 folders that could potentially receive new mail (via procmail filtering) and it would be unwieldy to subscribe them all.
Subscriptions and IDLE have nothing to do with each others. IDLE can monitor only the selected mailbox (ie. one mailbox per connection).
I haven't read anything about Push IMAP yet, so can't say how it works there.
