Still haven't figured it out. Looks like mbox_snarf_sync_init(which calls
mbox_snarf) is called once. Looks like cmd_idle only wants to update when:
/* check immediately if there are changes. if they came before we
added mailbox-notifier, we wouldn't see them otherwise. */
if (client->mailbox != NULL)
idle_sync_now(client->mailbox, ctx);
So maybe this is by design. So it looks like I should always keep one
e-mail in my inbox to delete in order to get new messages when using idle?

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in
idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new
messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the
problem:
1 login userid password
2 select inbox
3 idle
When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and
moves them over fine.
When I truss the process, I see it only running stat calls on my "mbox-snarf"
file. To get new messages I issue DONE, CLOSE, and SELECT INBOX.
I'm not sure why it is reporting alpha5 two lines below. I did an hg pull
just the other day and see 1.2.beta1 in the output of hg tags.
