You won't regret, specially if you are subscribed to many mailing
lists.

I recommend you connecting to the server through ssh, if posible. Two
reasons, first, thus your IMAP user name and password won't travel in
clear text, second, you can enable compression, if the server is slow.

set tunnel = "ssh -C -q username@your.imap.server /usr/sbin/imapd"

For me, compression was the difference between do and don't. Of
course, for this example to work, your public key should be already
provisioned at username@your.imap.server:.ssh/authorized_keys.
