Aside from requesting _all_ headers for every mail, instead of just the
headers it's interested in and actually needs. So chews more bandwidth
per user on little things like opening large folders and breaks the
older header-caching in Cyrus, so that retrievals end up having to hit
the disk for every mail in a folder instead of being able to get all the
relevant data from cyrus.{index,cache} or whichever the files are.
So I adjusted the caching for all the mail-clients in use except
Outlook, so the people who managed to use politics to rewrite existing
corporate security policy got upset because their mail-client wasn't as
responsive as others. *shrugs*
