It is not documented because it is not intended to happen. When it
does occur, it is a bug. I don't know how to reproduce the bug, so I
can't fix it... Perhaps this could go into a FAQ about IMAP slowness,
it seems many IMAP users run into this sooner or later.
If someone wants to debug and fix it, that would be very useful.
