Try talking IMAP protocol manually:

telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b select inbox
c idle

Then do changes in another client. Are any written to the telnet session?

mailbox_idle_check_interval is the only setting related to this, and since you have set it to 5 seconds it really should be sending changes. If no changes are sent, I guess it's a bug in v1.2.9.
