Hi!

Are there other hooks like loginexec?

Nope.

I'm especially looking for a hook that is called whenever a (IMAP)
client polls the Maildir for updates: I would like to call fetchmail to
check an associated remote POP account for new mails when this happens.

Here's a question for you. Your mail client periodically checks for new mail. Now, a new mail check will not simply be a quick, nearly instantaneous operation, the server will now has to run an external hook program, and fetchmail may take quite a bit of time to log on to an external mailbox, and download new mail, and the IMAP server has to wait until it's done, before sending a response.

So, when your mail client now starts freezing, for 10-15 seconds at a time, and not responding to your commands, are you going to blame the IMAP server for this?
