At least in some setups (a lot actually) you would not need to poll: GUIs could definitely trigger it. > For example, take IMAP storage of voicemail.

Not exactly easy but doable. BTW: Does pollmailboxes _disable_ the event based notifications? UPGRADE.txt is not clear about that. Some setups might want to use a mix. Event-based with custom triggers and polling-based with pollfreq=3600 as a safety net.
