It is missing the proper hooks, however as this free software this can
be fixed

Rewrite the above code to call a members of say
'new-mail-check-functions' using run-hook-with-args-until-success.
Wrap the old check code in a

(defun new-mail-in-spool-file-p ()
)

and stick that in the hook. This should mostly a cut and paste job.

Submit that patch. Then go off and write new-mail-in-imap-p..
