IIRC, IDLE doesn't monitor unsubscribed folders. I have about 100 folders 
that could potentially receive new mail (via procmail filtering) and it 
would be unwieldy to subscribe them all.

Is there some mechanism in the push protocol to inform the client of 
delivery to an arbitrary folder, to eliminate the need to poll the whole 
hierarchy?
