imap folder loading is roughly 3x times as fast as it was in 1.0.8 and it can't get much (if any) faster. There's a certain amount of network traffic that we *must* do, and that is what is causing the slowness (well, most of it - etable rendering is the other). > > - I followed the threads about imap trash and I thought the problems would be solved > with 1.1.90.
