(For some reason, a larger number of users will whine and complain incessantly unless the ability to poll all mailboxes is enabled. Why anybody wants to poll mailboxes other than those in which messages are being delivered are beyond me. But this is a feature that users demand, so we have to support it unfortunately.)

If server supports both NOTIFY and SUSPEND, you wouldn't need to do such polling. Server just sends the updates when restoring.
