I want to see per-folder imap notifications, with an option per folder for notifications to be on and off.

I don't get any new emails into INBOX - my email (aggregating from other accounts) comes initially into to various 'incoming' folders (which I do not want notications on) then popfile automatically files them into various other folders within the heirachy - some of which I absolutely need notification for and some I don't want at all.

With IMAP-IDLE monitoring is per folder anyway so it is a small change from only monitoring INBOX via hardcoding to monitoring a list of folders defined in a config file.

I suppose if I wanted to work around this limitation, I could symlink any new emails from folders I am interested in to INBOX.
