Is support for push (IDLE) planned? #97

I was wondering if Postal supports Push (i.e. the user's email server informing an app that uses Postal about new messages). As far as I understand, this is known under the name IDLE (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177).

I didn't find any traces of it in the examples or in documentation/roadmap, so I thought I would ask how big the interest is in implementing it or if there have been any plans already.

I have also checked libetpan and it seems like it's available there. If implementing it is (in your opinion) uncomplicated enough for me to try it without substantial C experience, I'd love a tip on where to start.

Otherwise, I would greatly appreciate any advice on what other packages I might use for that functionality in a macOS app. I'm writing it in Swift, but wouldn't mind using a package from another language, if the interop works. From what I found, MailCore or libetpan could be my only options, would be interested to find out otherwise.

Thanks for any advice/help and to the contributors for their work.
