Comment 2 for bug 221503

Build Version/Date: Any (viewed in 20080425 and 20080428)
Environment used for testing: xephyr/menlow

Summary: Imap connections are slow due to claws re-reading all the mails rather than just the new ones. This is especially slow for gmail where most users have a lot of mail.

Steps to Reproduce:

1: open claws
2: setup an imap account (gmail is the prime exapmle)
3: access mail
4: give it a few minutes and get mail again

Expected result: I expect a similar result as evolution and thunderbird in that it just retrieves the new mails rather than all of them

Actual result: It downloads all the headers anew rather than just the news ones
