That's for sure - "mailbox" in IMAP always refers to the thing that most
people call "folder".

But I think it's unlikely that you need push mail for more than a couple
of IMAP accounts on different servers. And in any case, there would be
no way to accomplish this, with any protocol, without having a
connection to all the IMAP servers.
