I just had an idea.
Instead having the user just sit at the browser waiting for
the inbox to load, why not have then view an animated gif animation
that says something like "retrieving messages" with a cute
message download  animation? A lot of times with a native email
client you sit there and watch the folders fill with new messages
before you can actually read one. On the web it seems slower because
you are waiting to view that initial page.
