An efficient way to check the inboxes of a large number of email accounts constantly

An efficient way to check the inboxes of a large number of email accounts
constantly

I wonder how those email management apps (such as Mailbox) keep checking
the inboxes of a large number of email accounts constantly. Do they keep
an IMAP connection with the server for each account by sending the IDLE
command? It seems to me that this will need a lot of resources by keeping
a large number of connections. Is there any more efficient way?
