Thats normaly, because mutt load always a bunch of headers per message
from the imap and "mailboxes" give your mutt the rest, if you POLL the
Mailfolders.
Better is to use imap_idle, but this has another flaw in mutt: If mutt
crash or you close it while you have nocht checked the folder, and you
used "header_cache" mutt will not more find new messages.
The implementation is the last crap...

No, because mutt verify alwas arrund 20 headers from messages to
determiner WHICh message is new or not.
You CAN NOT TRIMM the headers, mutt receive, but you can ADD ADDITIONAL
ones. It is realy crappy... I am on GSM/GPRS too but installed a YAGI
antenna with 14 db to get the UMTS/HSDPA signal... Yes it is a real
BURNER, but if I can not get ADSL, Cable or better UMTS connectivity, I
have not another choice.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
