quick = behaviour

Hello,

I'm curious to know what the expected behaviour is when:

 quick = <integer greater than zero>

I've tried running in debug mode (-d imap -1), and I do not
see anything
happening between the 2 minute auto refresh period, despite
my creation
and deletion of messages on both ends.

My config:

[general]
accounts = Test
ui = Noninteractive.Basic

[Account Test]
autorefresh = 2
quick = 100
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
remotehost = localhost
remoteuser = userA
remotepass = passA

[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = 192.168.0.10
remoteuser = user1
remotepass = pass1


Cheers,
spd

The sync will still run every two minutes, but when quick is
set to 100,
only every 100th (or 101st?) sync will do a full sync in
which messages
are inspected for changes to flags, which tends to be slow
on large
mailboxes.  During a quick sync, if there are no new
messages or
deletions in the mailbox, you'll see messages like:
Skipping sent-mail (not changed)
