Bug description:
VM issues inefficient IMAP commands when fetching mail, or so I've been told by my sysadmin when I complained about IMAP being slow.  I've attached a partial log from him.  It looks like some commands are issued for one message at a time, when they could instead be batched.  Since I have relatively high latency to my IMAP server, all those round trips are causing noticeable slowness.

It would be great if, when fetching mail via IMAP, VM would minimize the number of commands issued.

I'm running VM 8.0.5-504.  You should be able to reproduce this slowness issue by using a distant IMAP server and fetching at least 20 messages.
