aquamail have local cache upto 10000 last emails, and it does not fetch 
more then that, so basicly if all android users have all mail in inbox 
and useds aquamail it will work, i have over 300000 emails around 7GB 
totaly, if all this was in inbox will bring down thunderbird, since it 
fetches all 300000 email to offline stata as default, this also happens 
with outlook, sadly

in roundcube i make all mails into mountly folders with brings down 
amount of emails into lower subdirs on dovecot, with will then be speedy

it would be nice to know how to generic speed it up to google standards, 
virtual folder trick ?
