From 491ea82b6d34c839cb67a6058d23c6d8d3cbb4db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leif Madsen Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 21:09:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update IMAP documentation. Update the IMAP documentation to make it clear that storing voicemails in the same folder as a large number of emails could potentially cause significant slow downs when writing or retrieving voicemails.
