The more information you retrieve about a message, the more bandwidth is
being used. So for slow connections, you should minimize what you
retrieve in order to see what's on the server for reading.

With Mulberry, the initial message information retrieved isn't enough
for even threading. If I wish to thread, it retrieves more information
for threading to be done. etc.

Actually, it's the other way around. <x> is the number of messages on
the server and which hasn't yet been fully sync'd with what's local.

That just means that there are messages on the server but the amount is
yet to be determined.
