Well, there is definately a problem with the way The Bat! deals with
the number of messages as I've just set-up another account which has a
fair number of messages on the server and it's just sitting there
doing nothing. Whether this occurs only for new account set-ups or
whether this will happen when I have large number of messages on the
server later down the road I just don't know..
<Sigh>
