dovecot - Feb 2012 - iPhone and custom imap folders problem

Hi 

Im using Dovecot 1.0.10 and everything seems work ok except one client
He is accessing his mailbox using iPhone 
There are several custom folders created and mail is directed to them
using procmail
The problem is iPhone mail app only sees changes in INBOX and when new
mail arrives to other folders it will not see it unlers user accesses this
particular folder
Is there some kind of workaround for this?

Im quite sure its iPhones fault as all other email clients are workin
perfectly fine.

As far as I know, that is a limitation of the iPhone mail client: it
only IDLEs on the currently selected folder, and it only checks the
currently selected folder for new messages. You will not see new mail
for the other folders unless you select them.

A client of mine using iPhone1 has the same problem on Dovecot 2.0.15.
