Bug Description
Postler should have support for IMAP IDLE [1]: "The IDLE feature allows IMAP e-mail users to immediately receive any mailbox changes without having to undertake any action such as clicking on a refresh button, or having the e-mail client automatically and repeatedly ask the server for new messages."
Support for IMAP IDLE would mean significantly faster notifications and downloads of new mail (when the servers supports it), and would eliminate the overhead of repeatedly polling the server to check for new mail. This would fit perfectly with Postler's goals of being quick and lightweight.
