[MlMt] OT: iOS mail client

[Robert Goldman]

Do you know if this is an issue with individual IMAP *folders* or IMAP 
*accounts* with large numbers of messages?  I'm not sure how to 
interpret "inbox" in

Does that mean if we don't subscribe to huge folders we will be ok, even 
if we have a lot of them?  Or is this more a function of the overall 
number of message in the account as a whole?

I'm ok with the first, but I have at least one IMAP account that is 
huge.
