What OS is Courier on?
We're still on RH 7.3 here, and I disabled IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE several months ago because of response time issues - nothing consistent, but it was quite noticable over WAN connections. It's much improved since then, and none of the users said anything about no longer having real-time mail notification. Most of them are Outlook, but I noticed a difference with KMail too (which is odd because, as noted earlier, KMail doesn't even implement IDLE.
This is on Suse 9.1 and 9.2. I originally enabled fam and IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE (under RH 7.3) because it seemed to solve a bunch of problems with Outlook. Outlook users often got those very helpful MS messages like "An unknown error occurred and it's DEFINITELY not our fault. If only you were running MS Exchange this would never happen..." ;-)
Anyway, enabling FAM and the IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE stopped all those error messages. So I've been using them ever since. But maybe it's time to turn them both off and see what happens.
From what I recall, it should monitor only what the FAM client (imapd) requests, ie. the maildir Inbox. If it's going elsewhere, something else may be borked.
I'm not exactly sure what "monitor" means in this case. The Gamin site you mentioned has the following change log from a couple of months ago.
# statically excludes /mnt//* /media//* from kernel monitoring to avoid umount problems
That may be the gamin solution to the same problem I'm seeing.
