becomes even more likely. Mutt in CVS has added support for pipelining
commands (sending multiple commands at once without waiting for a reply
to the first one).
Pipelining is a fundamental feature of IMAP which servers are required

point your vendor towards: RFC 3501, section 5.5. "Multiple Commands in
