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.

How did you disable them? I think enabling oe6-fetch-no-newmail workaround should help.
i set:
mailbox_check_interval = 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 0
which did the trick (i already had all the client workarounds enabled).
thanks, sean

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.

This has been the default since 0.99.5 which was released over 2 years ago. How old version are you using? :) Or had you changed the default?
mailbox_idle_check_interval = 0
This shouldn't matter because OSX Mail doesn't use IDLE. Probably better idea to turn it back on or clients using IDLE don't see new mails (I think?)
