All right, I tried dnotify manually, and despite the times on 
directories not changing, I get notification (command line) when new 
mail arrives.

So I recompiled dovecot to use dnotify (--with-notify=dnotify), but it's 
still not working as it should.  I have three mails in new, my command 
line dnotify saw all of them, but dovecot has not notified my client of 
them, or moved them out of new...

How does doevcot use dnotify?
