too much header fetching
Hello,
I have some mailing list archives kept in mailboxes over IMAP. I have header
caching enabled on 1.5.17. Usually when I switch to those folders, mutt
"evaluates" the caches, which is a process that's considerably faster than
"fetching the headers" (indeed, that's the point of caching). But sometimes
lately, when I switch into one of these folders, mutt will begin fetching anew
as if I had no cache built up. Well, that's not quite true: mutt begins
fetching anew as if I only had a small fraction of the cache that I actually
do. I've got ~15K mails in this folder. Sometimes for no reason mutt will
start fetching headers starting with a seemingly random #, like 4517 or 3387.
This is really annoying, since fetching takes a *long* time with 15K mails.
Anybody got a clue? I've never had this happen before until recently.
