the last 7 days.
Is this possible? If not, maybe an enhancement?

Bug 3438.I decided to follow your advice on setting up a virtual folder. One
seems to have appeared anyway called "Virtual Inbox" which I haven't
seen before. I've just upgraded to 4.1-RC2, so maybe this is a new
feature? It seems to contain unread messages.
Anyway, I'm not sure the search terms I can choose from will help here
- what I really need is "received today" or maybe received in the last
7 days.
Is this possible? If not, maybe an enhancement? At the moment, I need
to specify a particular date, which will work today, but presumably
tomorrow will then contain yesterday's messages?

in the preferences.
Could it be a configuration option to only fetch the last page-worth
of messages when accessing an IMAP folder?
IMAP folder, we have to know the order of *all* messages in the
folder. To do this requires a search command on the IMAP server - a
potentially expensive call depending on your mailbox structure, your
IMAP server speed, your IMAP server I/O speed, and the # of messages
in the mailbox. You've also enabled the 'sort_limit' configuration
option, correct?
above behaviour is that at present all headers are retrieved
(obviously) only a single page-worth of headers are displayed at any
one time. My suggestion might also be quite a performance improvement.

I use IMP as a way of accessing my personal IMAP account through a
work firewall - all commercial webmail interfaces get blocked by
surf-control or similar.
I have recently been having problems accessing my account - the
browser session has been timing out, and I now think this is due to
the number of messages in my inbox (around 700).
I suddenly had a thought today, and wondered if I could instead use
the Search interface to just retrieve messages in my inbox which were
received today - this is working beautifully.
This has got me wondering about the way IMP interfaces with IMAP.
Could it be a configuration option to only fetch the last page-worth
of messages when accessing an IMAP folder? My assumption from the
above behaviour is that at present all headers are retrieved, but
(obviously) only a single page-worth of headers are displayed at any
one time. My suggestion might also be quite a performance improvement.
