Have looked through all of the config options in the wiki and
don't see a reference to turning off IDLE similar to courier's
capability. Is it possible?

No. Why do you want to disable it?

Prefer not having persistent connections to the server. May sound backwards but simple as that.

Are you sure disabling IDLE helps with that? AFAIK most clients keep
persistent connections to server regardless of their ability to IDLE.
