Yes, I meant system update, rather than mail program update.

Yes.  Though I was thinking more about what you would use to do it.

That would depend on caching.  Some IMAP clients can keep a temporary
cache, so that if you were to look at a message, look at another, then
go back to the first, it'd just re-read the cached data.  The ability
for this to work may depend on the server, too.

That's what I do, and why I did it.

For some clients, their filtering is slow, or limited in functionality.
And, if you handle your mail on different computers, you'd be
programming rules on each computer.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
