Some IMAP servers, Cyrus IMAP included, offer a feature called server
side threading. Mulberry will use server side threading if the server
supports it. This is one of the reasons why I'm enjoying FastMail IMAP
so much. 

The server side threading is immediately evident to me when on opening
the mailbox, Mulberry simply displays the threading. I get no prompt
about whether or not I wish to thread only the currently displayed
messages or to thread all messages in the mailbox. I used to get that
prompt while using MDaemon IMAP. When I hit one of the options,
Mulberry downloads more message information and then threads. If I do a
full mailbox threading, Mulberry downloads quite a lot of message
information before it finally does the threading.

With FastMail, I never see the prompt and the threaded view is
displayed as quickly as the unthreaded view.

This is all part and parcel of Mulberry's efficient methods of
displaying messages lists.
