and that is why K9 on android let you select which folders are relevant for you on the mobile and which should be completly ignored and display the selected in "common inbox"
This is not an argument. You can have hundred of folders sorted by sieve and really need to know if there new mail in any of it
surely IT IS an argument
on a non-iPhone you can chosse what is important your agrumentation is even one argument more against iPhone
I think that battery life is the reason, why this feature is not implemented in iPhone. It will use only one IMAP connection so it is not "it's IMAP limitation" As I told - IMAP limitation is to control only one folder
as proven by other devices there is no limitation
how does help me "save battery" if i have a folder-structure maintained by sieve if i do not get my new mails?
If you open 10 connections to IMAP server and will IDLE on them - your phone will wake up to reply for ping in every of that 10 connections. Imagine if there will 100 folders? Therefore IMAP really have limitation to use it on mobile devices
again: how does it help me if I NEED to check them?
and no, IMAP has no limitations proven by Android-client my Samsung Galaxy S3 has around 25 push folders
no problem with K9 mail to have them in my "common inbox" including my own sent messages while on the desktop i use the folder structure and my battery has a average lifetime of 1.5 days
