Come to mention, all three of those.
I kept modest running, just to see if it would auto-update as expected, but it just sat there. I had to refresh myself.

Even just tapping on the refresh icon at bottom right did nothing. I had to actually select the INBOX folder before it told me I had a new message. Each subsequent folder that I select (drafts, junk, queue, trash) it quickly says "Retrieving" at the bottom right. Is that proper behavior for IMAP?

An altogether different problem than I expected maybe?
Perhaps it's not a problem with the notifications, but Modest's auto-update function. This still seems odd, as right now my tablet can be considered "out-of-the-box"

pondering.......
