We have implemented this functionality according to RFC 2177.
We actually implemented a synchronous idle function that blocks until a timeout occurs or the server sent some event.

This is not the most flexible way, however it will provide a basic functionality that enables user to use imap idle based notifications.
Besides, every other solution would require threads or regular polling.

See attached patch file.
