Try talking IMAP protocol manually: telnet localhost 143 a login user pass b select inbox c idle Then do changes in another client. Are any written to the telnet session? mailbox_idle_check_interval is the only setting related to this, and since you have set it to 5 seconds it really should be sending changes. If no changes are sent, I guess it's a bug in v1.2.9.
