I actually use courier-imap, and I do enable the IDLE feature. I was
thinking of overall usage, like server side searching and sorting, which
I have enabled in my scenario because it's asymptotically faster than
having PHP (webmail) handle that stuff for big maildirs.

However, show me a client that doesn't open a new session for every
folder you view. Mozilla/Thunderbird seems to.
