However, there's not a bug to track "the IMAP IDLE stuff". Have you got a link to the patches?

Short version: seems that some work would need to be done to prevent IMAP IDLE being an enormous power drain. If a developer wanted to pick up on it and make the PR_Poll() changes discussed, then it'd be includable in the CSSU, IMHO
It seems to be, from reading that material, that the issue is fully fixed in the meego branch. Do we have access to that? If not, is this PR_Poll() a new syscall or something a library is expected to do? I'm fairly familiar with FreeBSD kernel hacking --- so I suppose I could take a hack at this --- but I'd need to get some quick context to get up to speed on what's required.
