[SM-DEVEL] A handy little patch...

[Jeff B. <je...@ve...>]

I have a huge folder tree (462 folders with nearly 1 GB of
mail), and the left hand pane takes a long, long time
to refresh when my server is busy and I have the option
to show unseen messages on.

Tonight I created a little patch which only does 20
seconds worth of detailed formatting, and then reverts
to the normal mode. Therefore, when my server is not
busy I will see all of the unseen notifications, and
when it is I will see whatever can be computed in 20
seconds.

Things work a lot more smoothly now.

The patch can be found at

func=detail&aid=514686&group_id=311&atid=300311

I realize that this isn't generally applicable, but
it solves a usability problem for me, and it may be
helpful to others too.

Enjoy,

Jeff;
