It's way much faster on mailboxes with many messages in it than courier... by
"way much" I mean: courier 1 min, bincimap 10sec - approx. :) I have some rather
superlarge mailboxes like the lkml of one year, containing ~ 50.000 messages.
With courier that mb got unusable at ~ 10k messages (took longer than 2 minutes
to select the mailbox -> connection timeout *g*), with binc I can still use it
now - it's selected in 10-15 secs.

Ah well, and there's also no such support on courier like Andreas gives for binc
;-)

Try a cvs-checkout of squirrel, I've read that the newest versions have improved
support for bincimap, but are not yet tarballed.
