IMHO, idled is the best. It provides for near-realtime updates without
bombarding the server with NOOPs or blindly polling the mailbox. There
might be cases were the overhead of the idled communication channel
outweights that of infrequent polling (at the expense of slow updates),
but I don't know where the cross-over point is. Until someone who has a
*lot* of users using clients which support IDLE gives us some feedback,
all we have is theory and speculation.
I *think* this is vague enough to not give Larry any ammo ;-)

Yes (using PAM). I don't know.
I assumed this was username/authname issue or a callback issue, but it
hasn't bothered me to the point of trying to fix it.
