I have 500MB of email distributed fairly evenly across about a dozen mail folders and it gives a quick folder list and first 50 emails in the blink of an eye.  Now, I used to run Edgedesk.  That implementation of IMAP was poor and, just like you say, it requested a listing of EVERYTHING and would take up to 30-60 seconds to load my inbox for the first time.  No such problem with IMP.  In fact, I see my IMAP server load greatly reduced since switching to horde from Edgedesk (mintersoft).

    Interesting.  I'll have to play with that a bit.  Because of the old 
wu-imap implementation, at the moment I can't do anything with it in 
terms of applying the patch for it to work properly (as this link states 
http://wiki.horde.org/ImpUWIMAPNamespaces )

    However, I do have subscriptions enabled, and my various mail 
folders together are roughly 2 GiB total (I keep mailboxes "open" for 
all of 2007 and 2006) and when I log in, IMP comes up within a few 
seconds.  I don't have to wait 30-60 seconds for it.

    Now, it's entirely possible that once I am able to address wu-imap, 
that IMP will end up being even faster, but for now it works great with 
subscriptions enabled.
