Thunderbird uses IDLE which is a separate story and a much better  
approach then sending NOOPS. With IDLE you tell the server that you  
are waiting and the server tells you when something happened. NOOP is  
simply a workaround to keep the connection open as it takes quite a  
bit to reopen it (you also need to login).
