Thank you very much for your feedback, I've enabled idled in
Cyrus-imap, and now it works.

For other people who could have the same problem, you must uncomment
this line in /etc/cyrus.conf:
idled           cmd="idled"
And you must change in /etc/imapd.conf:
idlemethod: idled

Information from README.Debian.gz:

4. Configurable idled support.

   Cyrus IMAPd supports three options of using IDLE in IMAP sessions. The first
   option is not to support IDLE at all. The second is to use internal polling
   in the IMAP daemon. The third option is to use an external daemon, idled.
   Upstream only supports configuration of this during compilation, Debian
   however includes a patch which makes this runtime-configurable. Please
   set the 'idlemethod' imapd.conf option according to your needs and enable
   idled in cyrus.conf if you want to use it.
