So, perhaps we could state that the desired behavior of any IMAP
client would be to fetch only those message headers it nedds to and
perhaps a bit more. In case of TB, that would transalte to fetching
only headers that would be visible to the user and perhaps
screenful of header up and down.
It also helps if the clients ask for a limited set of headers from
each message of interest.
Yes, I want to second all these statements. That would be my prefered
solution, too.
By the way: I checked kmails behavior. It fetches the headers of all
mails in a folder, too, but I think it uses just the limited set of
headers and that's why it is so incredible fast compared to thunderbird.
Disadvantage: It cannot show me if a mail has attachments, before I
click on it and load it this way. But that might be no problem in most
cases.
So I think TB already would get a huge speed improvement by just
implementing a limited header set query.
Best,
Daniel
