IMAP enhancements, by priority: [ -- socket -- ] * Smarter connection code. Mutt should handle dropped connections/routing problems gracefully. It should be able to transparently reconnect. This is facilitated by the next item. * Interruptible socket calls, preferably without having to abort the connection. For example large downloads could be chunked. [ -- browsing -- ] * We should maybe add a new imap_format string for IMAP browsing, without all the stat variables but with tags like how many messages are in the folders, how many subfolders, that weird \Marked tag, etc. [ -- speed -- ] * Partial index loading, using server-side threading and sorting * Partial message loading, including parsing BODYSTRUCTURE for the view-attachments menu * Disconnected mode, probably based on an augmented header cache [ -- new mail detection -- ] * Possibly opening multiple connections for mailbox polling, now that we have IDLE support.
