I remember that.

No, I don't think that is related, but I have a new theory (unrelated to 
the app nap problem). I've seen a bug myself two or three times the past 
month: After sleep, one of my accounts does not take the INBOX into the 
IDLE state (the “Connected” state). This results in new messages not 
being detected. As soon as I select the INBOX or anything depending on 
it then it triggers it to go to the IDLE mode (after fetching new 
messages) and there are no more problems.

Does this match what you see? And if yes, how often does it happen for 
you? (Tricky to debug if it happens as rarely as it does for me.)
