Yes, it's likely.  When using IMAP you may want to increase the value of 
$mail_check, which defaults to 5 seconds.


Also, if you aren't using the sidebar to display message counts, you may 
want to ensure $mail_check_stats is off.  If you need it turned on, 
check that $mail_check_stats_interval hasn't been set lower than the 
default of 60 seconds, and consider increasing it too.

UI sluggish when imap_check_subscribed is set

[Naveen Nathan]

Hi,

I'm running Mutt 1.13.4 on MacOS using homebrew.

When I set imap_check_subscribed and browse the index
such as scrolling downwards, every few seconds the UI
seizes.

Is this due to a short period of polling to check if
subscribed folders have new messages? I think I have
on the order of 30+ folders subscribed.

Thanks,
Naveen
