Maybe I should have mentioned: the problem occurs on Windows systems.
Reported on Windows XP and Windows 2008R2 Terminal server.
I have Linux at home with many folders and it does not happen there.
This appears to be not true.
I tested more and on Linux it happens as well.
As far as I can see, since version 2.15 there is a fixed delay of 3
seconds during the first access of every IMAP account in the config.

I have downloaded source tarballs for 2.14.1 and 2.15 (as I have
observed that the problem first occurred in 2.15) and did a full
context diff between them, but I still have not been able to locate
a possible cause for the problem.
The most obvious candidate would be that the program is contacting the
server and having a little chat with it, no? Otherwise, how can it
display a current list of messages? This hypothesis is testable: it
would predict longer delays on slower connections and little to no
effect of computer processing speed.
I've noticed in retrieving POP3 mail that my computer becomes completely
unresponsive for about a second at the end of the process. So for
example if I'm watching a video and SM automatically gets mail, the
video freezes briefly and then resumes, and that's my cue to switch to
SM and read new mail.
