The IMAP provider doesn't support searching yet, and unfortunately, in
0.2, we forgot to disable it from the gui. So yes, it will crash if
you try. "Don't do that then." :)

Yup. There were some bugs with signals not being emitted which have
been fixed now in CVS.

It should always skip to the next undeleted message. If you've sorted
the message list by one of the columns though, it will appear to
behave randomly. It shouldn't ever go to messages marked deleted
though... Anyway, this code is being rototilled a bit, so hopefully it
will be fixed in 0.3.

Try Space/Backspace. :)

Heh. No, 1.5 seconds. It will be configurable later. (Maybe in 0.3)

The IMAP code is pretty new, and I think that was left disabled to
keep people from losing mail. (I'm not sure though.)

Oops. Yeah, the default folders are probably slightly broken. If you
create a new folder (File -> New Folder), you'll be able to refile
into that.
