> I am right, that IDLE is working only for ONE mailfolder?
Yes - in the IMAP protocol, the IDLE command only monitors the
currently selected mailbox in that connection. Technically, if you
want to monitor multiple mailboxes with IDLE, you need to use multiple
connections... this is not something that mutt does, and not something
most servers expect (many of them have a low default limit on the
number of concurrent connections from a single IP address).

Which is yet another reason not to have mutt check all your mailboxes
every ten seconds.
