It'd be nice if the synchronization process was completely independent
of the "user thread" -- i.e. the user can go and change folders, view
messages as the synchronization is happening in the background. I would
guess that's what is planned. The background sync thread could
prioritise the order that it downloads stuff (e.g. headers first, then
small messages, then large messages). Is this just a rehash of what
you're saying? :-)
If we had the ability to create email filters based on the message size,
it'd be simple enough to create a folder for "large messages" and just
not mark that folder for automatic synchronization.
