Lemme add a big "Me TOO!" to that.  When you login to an imap account
for the first time, the server has to fetch all the info from the
server, right?  Number of messages, flags, headers, etc.  Would it be
more trouble than it's worth to be able to configure Evolution to
resycnhronize the IMAP on certain intervals (say, once an hour
resynchronize the mailbox completely).  If it were configurable, then
users over dialup wouldn't have to use it but those who have fast
connections, who leave a copy of evolution running at home as well as
work, could.

Just a thought.
