For clarification. Does this mean if I select the Trash folder then
mails will only be pushed that arrive in Trash? For Inbox and others it
will still be the interval I have configured in my mail client?
Correct. That is how IDLE works.
Actually, the IMAP rfc allows notifications to be sent without IDLE for any
mailbox. But afaik there are no clients that actually support this, or rather
since most clients will be confused by unsollicited unilateral server data the
server cannot rely on such mechanisms. Since there was need for a mechanism for
a client to tell the server it is ready for such data, IDLE was conceived. But
the downside still was that it applies only to the mailbox that is in a selected
state.
