That's the IDLE extension to IMAPv4 -- it's not a push protocol as
such: the client still has to log into the server rather than vice
versa, but once the client has read all the available e-mail, it can
put itself into an idle state, and the server will wake it up as soon
as any new e-mail comes in.
Cheers,
Matthew
