The above shows the only time IDLE is every used (except when Mail.app asks for the capabilities of the server). Somewhere after 14:46:57, but before 14:48:52, I copied (since I have no SMTP server running on my laptop) a new mail into the new directory of the maildir I subscribed to. But as you can see from the above, somehow dovecot failed to notice the new mail. I don't use (d/i)notify or kqueue, but I did set dovecot up to check every 30 sec, which it obviously didn't. Btw. the mail arrives fine if I manually check for new mail in Mail.app.
IDLE checks for new mails only in the selected mailbox, not all mailboxes. IMAP doesn't really support that.
