Entire IMAP inbox message list downloaded, causing slowness

After initial fetch, the mail app seems to list the 20 most recent messages, which is reasonable enough. Now I've had it configured to update every 5min, and besides not keeping to that schedule too reliably (but that's another bug...) things seem to mostly work ok for a few days, fetching new messages on top of the initial ones.

After a few days, the mail app gets rather slow to respond for several hours, and if it does get past the not-responding dialog, I might see it listing messages from 2011–2008 at the top. Once it finishes, the response times improve (yay) but the message list is rather unnecessarily long (all ~7k msgs probably, didn't count).

Nuking .qmf helps for a while.

The server is dovecot 1:2.2.9-1 on debian — granted, the hw it runs on has been a bit flakey, so there is a possibility that it might occasionally say something it didn't mean. (Yeah I should migrate it...)
