RFCs are a huge PITA to read and digest. I may take a look if required, but for now I think this theory is malarky. No offense intended. Just calling it as I see it.
The references are spot-on. The IDLE command is just designed to notify changes to the *selected* mailbox. And a client can have just one selected mailbox (per-connection, that is). That's simply a limitation of the protocol. Clients may work around this by opening several connections and selecting one mailbox per connection.
And refusing to read 130 lines of RFC (the first one, describing IDLE is really that short) to just say "meh, I don't believe you" doesn't sound really appropriate.
Just my 2 cents.
