Hmmm... Recently there was this email on Cyrus Announce mailing list:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.cyrus-announce&msg=150
It's announcement for version 2.3.1. Quoting: "IDLE now works with
idled". So
I guess there might have been some problems with it in previous version(s), if
it "now works" in the most recent version. I guess cyrus-info mailing list
would be the best place to inquire what was wrong with idled in previous
versions (if there was something wrong with it in 2.2.x).
