You should get an EXISTS response with *any* command if the mailbox changes. If you don't get an EXISTS response from a command, then the server doesn't think that the mailbox has changed since the previous command. The reason why NOOP is used to poll is if you don't want to do anything else other than poll. The imapd that you are talking to is probably UW imapd.
