Is this just personal taste or is there a real reason against usage of
idled?
I just checked that in fact, we already support idle, but not idled.
I still have noticeable lag between changing a folder in one client and
seeing the result in the others (tried thunderbird and outlook as well
as kmail, changing the folder - INBOX of a special test account - from
squirrelmail). I built a test version with idled support and ran it with
idled. This made Thunderbird and Outlook noticeable faster in seeing the
change (almost instantly), but not kmail (perhaps due to the old version
I tested). Running this for more than 24 hours now, I didn't notice any
problem (neither directly nor in the logs). So I would like to know your
reasoning.

cu,
Sven
