Subject: IMAP not caching folder listings?

Hi there

Over dialup PPP, IMAP gives better responsiveness than running pine on the
remote host - except that it looks to me that pine only asks for information
about enough messages to fill the current page. Now this is understandable,
but are there plans to make it a bit more intelligent - say download more
msg headers in the background, or at least cache them so that it doesn't go
off and ask for the same ones again? (You see it easiest when moving up/down
a folder listing - when you move beyond the last msg, pine freezes and it
looks like IMAP goes and asks for the entire screens-worth of msgs again -
not even just the single new one).
