How IDLE is working, that is clear.
Question is not how IMAP server working with IMAP clients.

You IMAP server is based on events. But in case of IDLE, WE have to notify client that something is changed. So, what is your IMAP server logic. How it gets information about what was changed, to transfer it to client?

E.G: There is a new message in mailbox (mailbox is in our data storage, and IMAP server doesnt know anything about it, we are just subscribed to its events). How IMAP server gets information about new message in the our data storage to transfer this information to connected IMAP client?
