I'd support this suggestion. But, please, note that
it is not only IMAP transancions only that block
Sylpheed's UI. In my opinion, the UI should be de-
signed so that it will never get unresponsive during
network operaions. Think of a loosely coupled Mod-
el-View-Controller architechture. It will require
intensive inter-process communication but will be
very nice.
