Yes, a progress meter would be nice. Imagine you have 100 emails, after travel, or even 5000 emails. At least I would know how much is left or what happened during the network connection. Connection get broken. Imagine the frustration, waiting for minutes, half an hour, just to realize too late that connection was broken. By the way, if I stop IMAP connection on server, movemail is to exit. But if the network connection breaks, for example, there is no mobile network available, movemail is not exiting. Maybe you should have detection when there is no connection?
