I don't think there is any reason why it should take more than one
connection to query a pop server, or to synchronize a single imap
folder. It is essentially a simple request/response situation.

I could have talked about the functions provided by those buttons, but
it seemed enough to count them.  I think it is clear that Mulberry's
editor does not provide nearly the text handling capability.  Of
course a person who doesn't need it won't miss it if it isn't there.
