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?

Ie, if you are in a folder other than Inbox, you wouldn't get IDLE notifications of anything in the Inbox until you selected that folder?

That's why imap push is usually tied to NOTFY[1], QRESYNC[2], and CONDSTORE[3] support in addition to IDLE. Sadly 2 of them are just in draft status so there's not much client or server support yet.
