There are proposals to add a multiple-idle command to fix this. But I
don't think it's implemented anywhere yet (but haven't checked).
The way other mail systems get around this is to open multiple
connections. Sucks, I know, but is still the only solution.
Maybe the right thing to do is do IDLE by default on INBOX (which,
ironically, I don't use at all) and then have a group parameter (or
something) set to open a new connection specifically for that box. That
way you could set the 'this box is important flag' on it to do IDLE
updates for, say, the top 10 boxes out of the 100 that you might have?
And the 11th for all the rest (or the 11th is the INBOX IDLE one that is
also the main pull connection).
