Going to give it a try. I had `%m` in my `$folder_format`, so I removed that (it wasn't super useful anyway). Having `%N` in sidebar format is definitely useful, but I am going to see how I go without `$mail_check_stats` and keeping `%N`; this will make the counts stale (or missing) until I synchronize a given mailbox. If this gets too annoying I'll remove `%N`, I guess. If this cures the hangs though I think it will be worth it. Thanks for the advice! -Greg
