Hm, wouldn't a null "Maildir" be even more efficient (at least on some
filesystems - but then again, mbox is not always faster as a Maildir).

Yes, that's right.  After Evo has finished loading the folder, there's a
short delay.  But taken the other huge delays, I don't care much at all
about this delay.

Well, if you could get it to be at least as fast as Mozilla is (in terms
of reading a folder), then it would be good.

Yes, that's very important.  The way it is now, Evo just isn't usable
for me over IMAP :(
