IMAP IDLE does not seem to work for me at all, I checked various recent
releases, and although stating that imaplib2 enters idle mode, it never
gets notified from my server :-(. Not having done the idle code in the
first place, (although having stared at it thoroughly by now) I am a bit
at a loss as to how to debug this. If you give me access to a test email
box where I could test a *working* IDLE, I might have better luck.
