This was never a nuisance for years when I used Claws Mail only with
POP accounts. Lately I added an IMAP connection to a Google mail
account where there are a lot of folder, and it does take a long time.

It's not enough of a bother for me, but I can see where it would be a
major issue in a large company. I wonder if a workaround might be to
have a corporate server on the local network access the Google servers,
and then the desktop machines can access their mail from the corporate
server. This would make the speed much faster, perhaps only a few
seconds. The only machine that would be tied up during access would be
the corporate server.
