status report about inotify on Debian Etch:

aptitude install inotify-tools

test -e /usr/include/sys/inotify.h || \
ln -s /usr/include/inotifytools/inotify.h /usr/include/sys/inotify.h

cd /usr/local/src/dovecot-1.0.10_mgtsieve
make clean
./configure

# output:
# File change notification method ..... : inotify

make && /etc/init.d/dovecot stop && make install && \

telnet localhost imap
1 login name pwd
2 select INBOX
3 idle

cd ~name/Maildir/new
echo new > new

+ idling
* 3 EXISTS
* 1 RECENT

and "new" is moved into ~name/Maildir/cur immediately. So, I guess, it 
means inotify is working.

=========

Well, could Dovecot adapt to Debian Etch, e.g. to specify an alternate 
inotify.h location with ./configure, maybe search the default location ?

Bye.
