idled  is  a  long  lived datagram daemon which receives notifications of mailbox changes and signals the
       appropriate imapd to report the changes to the client.

       Idled is usually started from master(8).

       idled reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

idled is commonly included in the DAEMON section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:

          DAEMON {
              idled                   cmd="/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/idled"
          }

       /etc/imapd.conf
