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.
