feat: add background mail polling option for all workers
Check for new mail (recent, unseen, exists counts) with an external command, or for imap with the STATUS command, at start or on reconnection and every X time duration IMAP: The selected folder is skipped, per specification. Additional config options are included for including/excluding folders explicitly. Maildir/Notmuch: An external command will be run in the background to check for new mail. An optional timeout can be used with maildir/notmuch. Default is 10s New account options: check-mail check-mail-cmd (maildir/notmuch only) check-mail-timeout (maildir/notmuch only), default 10s check-mail-include (IMAP only) check-mail-exclude (IMAP only) If unset, or set less than or equal to 0, check-mail will be ignored Signed-off-by: Tim Culverhouse <tim@timculverhouse.com> Tested-by: Moritz Poldrack <moritz@poldrack.dev> Acked-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc>
