That doesn't resemble anything in RFC 2177. AFAIU IDLE works like this:
* the client opens a connection
* the client sends IDLE command
* the server can now send unsolicited responses for for arriving mail etc.
* the client stops the command using DONE

We're doing this in a separate session, which should work. Ideally we would be
reconnecting every 29mins to keep the server from closing the connection, but
currently we simply wait for the server to close the connection and then reopen
a new one.

Anyways, this probably has nothing to do with the bug at hand.
