It's not supported, as far as I can tell. Pidgin is an instant messaging client, and IMAP is not an IM protocol (even though it does start with "IM"). Someone could theoretically write a third-party Pidgin plugin to support notification when a new mail arrives in your IMAP mailbox, but they don't have one listed on their "plugins" page. They've already determined that builtin IMAP integration with Pidgin is a WONTFIX. | |||
