Hi,
I found that all the message in the current window view(IMAP mailbox)
would be fetched at once everything I switch to a new window page.
this is a good for when most message's body have been cached.
but this also has low performance, when I have a lot of messages not
seen(have been cached yet) in one inbox and I want to check a mail which I
have to switch several pages down the window, then I have to wait for all
mails above the mail (which I want to check) being downloaded.
if I have several large mails above it, maybe I have to wait for many
hours. it is even more worse if I have a low network bandwidth. so it
looks a little unacceptable.
so I think an option could be added to control the way about message
fetching for IMAP. it controls fetching message once for a page or once
for a message just it was viewed.
if allows message could be fetched only it was checked, the mutt's IMAP
performance could be much more preferable.
thanks a lot!
