Hi,

I think it would be VERY easy to write a simple tool which just opened
a connection to your IMAP server, ran the IDLE command, waited for
updates from the IMAP server and simply ran a script when it got new
mail

There are heavyweights that do this, e.g.
http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ and
https://bitbucket.org/gsauthof/trysterobiff.  Overkill, perhaps, but I
think both allow arbitrary commands to be run on "new mail".
https://github.com/Jonhoo/hasmail#readme is a tray icon using
https://github.com/emersion/go-imap-idle#readme.

And I found some that appear more svelte.
https://gitlab.com/shackra/goimapnotify#readme says it's a Go version of
the undocumented https://github.com/a-sk/python-imapnotify.
