Re: PATCH: Several enhancements to mailbox checking

Hi Peter,

 issuing a status request is the previous default behavior. It results from
posting a function to the tree recursively that does a status on every
folder it finds. Actually, it calls libmutt and mutt decides, based on
whether it's a local folder or an IMAP folder to either issue a STATUS or
check the local file.
On slow connections this can use up quite a bit of time, so I decided to
patch it so that IMAP isn't checked at all. The best way would undoubtedly
be to have Balsa check the inbox only, if that's so desired. IMAP servers
can be configured in many different ways, even so that incoming mail is not
delivered to the inbox but to a subfolder. Havong the option to check all
folders is therefore valuable and shouldn't be removed altogether.
A more intelligent way to do this, but much more involved, would be to have
a flag on each IMAP folder, defaulted to off for all but the inbox, which
sayd to check ot not to check that particular folder. That's for later,
though, and won't conflict with this solution.
