 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!
 du yang
