[issue11245] Implementation of IMAP IDLE in imaplib?

[Gereon Kremer]

Gereon Kremer added the comment:

So, let's resurrect this one.

For the project that lead to the old patch, we did not need this feature.
However, we now needed are more complete implementation of IDLE.
Hence, we extended this to return after sending idle() and support polling, leaving idle mode or wait until something happens (like before).
