sync takes forever

[frizzle21]

sync should be latest message first, meaning from present to past.

Story:
i started using postler today, installed it via ppa, gladly noticed that it uses the indicator menu for messaging up in the panel..
after entering my google mail account details, it started syncing. Only after half a day ( several hours ) did it arrive at showing me the latest messages, especially, unread ones.

in order to remedy this situation, sync needs some love:
* sync only the last week by default
* fetch headers first, then create a preview based on that
* automatically fetch headers of earlier mails, when i try to scroll further "down" in history
* replace the Send&Receive button with a "refresh" button (people don't send batches of emails, nor do they "sync" the outbox)
* bold font for folders containing unread messages

This bug is much too broad I'm afraid. All except the last item (intentionally not done that way) sound like good ideas but please check if bugs are filed for those yet and other file individual feature reuquests.
