I wanted to add a couple other lacking features that are very useful:

a) selective download message text without attachments on a per
message basis. One can then view the message body over a slow
connection without having to download large attachments. Large
attachments can be left for sessions over a faster connection.

b) download of only X amount of headers for sync operations. At the
moment TB! has to sync all headers for messages in an IMAP folder for
you to be able to read a message. The IMAP protocol does make it
possible to download only the last 50 messages. You can then choose to
download more if you like.

Additionally, the IMAP protocol makes it possible to create a list of
messages without actually downloading the full headers. Downloading
full headers takes longer than downloading only enough information to
create the message list.

c) support for colour coding messages or support for extra flags apart
from the basic read/unread forward/redirected flags. Currently all
other labelling like colour coding, TB! flagging and parking are
local. Move the message to another folder and the TB! label, flagging
is lost. Only the standard ones are preserved.
