My intuition says this depends on the provider, so the support cannot be detected before talking to the server, e.g. IMAP IDLE - Wikipedia

Sounds plausible.
I thought that it was standard for all imap accounts.

Even so, the option could be offered and not enabled if not actually supported - don’t know which one’s the better way

At least, with your proposition even people not familiar with imap know that it’s a possibility.
