Yeah, I know it's there, but that's not what I am looking for.

In this case I AM the email provider (I own a web hosting company) and I'm looking for IMAP IDLE specifically... it's light years beyond what mail2web offers. Mail2web just forwards POP accounts, where IMAP is a true sync connection (syncs all folders including Sent, Deleted, and custom subfolders, not just the Inbox). IMAP IDLE would make the Apache a true business-caliber device, where mail2web is more of a consumer-oriented thing.

It's doable, as the two examples I referred to in the OP show, but neither one of them are ready for prime time.
