It would be nice if Apple Mail would give priority to downloading the contents of folders I've clicked on, instead of downloading EVERYTHING ELSE first.
The IMAP protocol was built for just this sort of behavior... intelligently choosing what to download.
This misbehavior isn't something I notice on a daily basis. It's something I notice when it hurts the most -- I'm on the road, I've been offline for 2 or 3 days, and when I reconnect there are literally thousands of messages to download, I don't have a lot of time, I just want to see messages in certain folders (my server has mail sorting rules for my account), and I can't because instead of downloading messages in the folder I clicked, Apple Mail is downloading everything else first, and taking forever to do it because I'm in a hotel where the connection is slower than it is at home.
