Mozilla does this (so Netscape 7 should do the same) don't remember if 
it's there in 1.01 or surfaced in a later version (I'm currently using 
1.2.1).
Just right click on the folder you want to monitor, select properties 
and mark "check this folder for new mail".
There's also a preference to check all folders for new mail, but there's 
no GUI interface for it.
Just put this line in your user.js

user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);
