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.
