Rebex IMAP does support IDLE - use Imap object's CheckForUpdates(int duration) method - this instructs the IMAP session to the IDLE state for the specified amount of miliseconds. Please note that for duration values less than 10 ms, NOOP is used instead of IDLE. With IDLE, you generally want to stay in the IDLE stay for long intervals.
