As long as it is configurable it isn't "stupid".  TBird, for example,
allows you to configure which folders to check for "new mail" and how
often.  This is great for me since I use server based filtering. 
Therefore I get notified when new mail arrives in various folders set up
to receive mailing list messages.  I only use about 20 folders in that
way...so maybe I'm also being "reasonable".

That's pretty bad then......wonder how may folders and total number of
emails are needed to achieve that level of "performance".  :-)
