The only really large differences I see between MM and other IMAP clients like Mail.App is that it starts up slower (and otherwise when it have to clean up its indices etc) and that it uses huge amount of memory.

In fact, memory seems to be much more important for MM than other parameters.

And then as for other clients it is not so much the bandwidth to the IMAP server that is important but the actual time it takes for a roundtrip and the number of IMAP commands it can get out of the IMAP server per time unit.

I have just above 2M messages in three accounts, and the roundtrip time to the IMAP server REALLY matters.
