Chris Boyle <fetchmail-friends@cmb.is-a-geek.org>:
+> Here's a patch I've written: where IDLE is unavailable, it uses periodic
+> NOOP commands instead (every 28 seconds). Important behavioural change:
+> the option "idle" will now always result in *some* form of idle. I think
+> I read somewhere that some servers will unilaterally send status updates
+> if you just hold the connection open, i.e. NOOPs would be unnecessary,
+> but that doesn't seem to be the case anywhere I've tried. In any case,
+> this patch copes with updates both as a response to the NOOPs and
+> unilaterally sent between them. It functions exactly like normal idling
+> (N.B. like normal idling, it is single-folder only), and hopefully
+> includes all the appropriate changes to the documentation. Enjoy. :-)
