Just to clarify, that's a question, not a statement smile I wish text had inflection smile

It can do. If the client and the server are both implemented properly then the connection can be kept open and the server can tell the client when new mail appears in folder that the client is watching.

Much like the held open http connection that Microsofts push email uses.

In reality most clients and servers don't implement the spec well enough for it to work properly.
