I would lean towards no.  For very large folders, this would require 
us to create the mailbox representation TWICE: once on the 
confirmation page to create the MD5sum, and once when sending the 
mailbox file to the user.  Using temp files is not practical here.   
And there is the edge case that the mailbox may change between the 
confirmation screen/download so the MD5sum may no longer be correct.

When you are in the Folders view in IMP, you can download a folder, 
but there is no way to verify the download.
"Show size" does a "human readable" size, not bytes, so it isn't of 
use.  Maybe we could add a md5sum, checksum, or other method to verify 
the download to a future version?  Not sure how many people would 
actually use it to verify the download, but I've had a user request it 
and it seems reasonable on the surface...
