Recent CVS versions of Sylpheed-claws perform the following steps after each message downloaded from an IMAP server: "Setting summary from message data" "Sorting Summary" When downloading huge amounts of mail (say ~1000 messages), this is very annoying. Previous versions performed these steps once after all messages had been downloaded which was factor 5-10 faster than current CVS. Also the GUI increments message count numbers in folder view after each downloaded message, instead of setting it to the final value after the entire mail download is complete.
Yep, this is a feature that was introduced in sylpheed-main. I'm thinking about something that would be more appropriate (probably `throttling`).
We're back to the previous method now
