The biggest obstacle is that MIMP does not share IMP's prefs (and this  
is correct behavior when/until we make MIMP an "alternate view" of  
IMP).  So we don't have the nav_poll pref we can use to determine  
which folders should be checked.  WE would have to figure out a  
lightweight way of allowing the user to indicate via MIMP's folders  
screen which folders they would like to check for new mail.
