I don't know, really. The code for IMAP spool files is what we
inherited from Kyle. I didn't really touch it. I only worked on IMAP
server folders code. In the process, I left out the handling of
vm-imap-retrieved list because it was being shared by both pieces of
code, and I didn't want break anything.

Now that you say it is not working for the IMAP spool files either, I
think I should get back to it and fix it. If you are leaving no email
on the server, it is perfectly fine to trim the list manually so that
it speeds up. I am glad you figure it out!

Cheers,
Uday
