[Bug 1021699] Re: fetchmail: IDLE - multiple daemons should be started

[Matthias Andree]

The limitation is documented, and I have always been considering killing
the IDLE option upstream.  Some server NOTIFY extension that is not as
limited as IDLE is, might help, but I don't know how widespread that is.
 Else fetchmail would have to undergo internal restructuring and go on
wasting sockets.  For large POP toasters, you can't use IDLE anyways, on
medium-sized, you might run out of file descriptors.
