It seems that support for the IDLE extension was planned for Evo 2.24
but didn't make it. It's now on the roadmap for 2.26. Does anyone know
if it's really going to happen this time?

  
I was told years ago (on this same list) that IDLE was not a standard
(no RFC and al), and as such, was not planned to be ever implemented for
Evolution.

It's been an RFC since 1997: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177
