Well the reading part seems to work... now we'll see if the sending part
works. 

Seems like once you download the full boat of msgs on a server group it
goes a bit faster afterwards. Problem is that you'd never be able to do
that on dialup for most of these lists. Found a bug report over on gnome
regarding this issue & the Evo folks came back and said that it was a
feature request instead.
