Our standard IMAP backend doesn't have IDLE support at all. Our hero Chenthill, however, has been cooking up a brand new IMAP backend for 2.30 (and it's for real this time, for those who've been following along for awhile). Not sure if it was enabled for 2.29.91, but it's there in 2.29.92 -- listed among the account type choices as "IMAP+". It supports IDLE. That's its raison d'être. The usual disclaimers apply: for all its flaws the old IMAP backend is thoroughly road-tested, the new one is not. Existing IMAP accounts will stay on the old backend for the time being.
