There should be a way to do that, but I don't know it
:(
A first improvment would be to load entirely the
mailbox which is viewed and populate the other one via
idle callback. This would only speed-up starting
process when the user has several mailboxes that open
on start-up with lot of messages. But the true aim is
to speed up the opening of a huge mailbox by just
loading a bit more than necessary ie just the viewable
messages. I think this is for later (in the meantime
I'll try to see the source of pan newsreader, I could
bet they have something like this because newsgroups
are huge mailboxes in general).
