Well, no it's not. I keep all my mail (except junk) including outgoing. I
have done for several years. It's about 600M currently, in Claris

What is the best way for an IMAP client to detect recently arrived mail
in a hierarchy of around a thousand mailbox folders? Should it do a

SELECT a folder and do IDLE on each one?
