dovecot - Apr 2008 - Dovecot sending OK while idling

When an IDLE command is active, Dovecot sends an OK every two minutes.
Is it possible to disable this?  I'm trying to eliminate unnecessary
traffic on a link that's charged by the kilobyte.

Using Dovecot 1.0.7.

Note that you may find your link drops your connection without a packet 
from time to time.  Varies by GPRS provider though (might also be a 
function of any nat firewalls in the middle, eg if you get a 10.x.x.x IP 
on dialup)

It's easy to disable by modifying the sources, but currently there's no
setting for this. I'd like to have it somehow automatically figure out
if it should be sending them or not, but I guess that's not really
possible..
