According to RFC3501 (is this the right one?), NOOP can be used to check for new mail, but it doesn't say that the server should return status data every time NOOP is issued.
i think the problem is that when the server asynchronously reports to the client that there's new mail apple mail gets confused. then noop doesn't report new mail. also, it seems that this is also the cause of apple mail having to re-download the entire mailbox every time it checks for new mail.
Well, then it's broken and should be fixed. I don't think Timo should be required to implement hacks to work around broken clients, but that's his call.
