From 9ff28fd6e8829e87629aeceb51b14c73c54f3b41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leif Madsen Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 21:08:09 +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.
