I care :).
The fact that most servers do limit the number of parallel connections is sad, but it's a reality (it's not only GMail; Dovecot's default is at 10 as well, and I suspect that other servers do the same). What people do not realize is that having 50 connections in IDLE is potentially much better than 5 connections SELECTing a mailbox every minute.
Dovecot can't even be configured to accept more than 50 simultanious connections. With my mobile phone I sometimes have 50 broken TCP connections and then I have to wait for the TCP timeout (30 minutes) before I can login again. A nice solution here is the NOTIFY extension which is not supported by many mail servers yet.
