(the mobile java gmail client is even way better! there i can read many many mails and i only have 60-100kb of traffic)
It seems that modest does get constantly all the id's of all my mails in the inbox.
and i guess thats also the thing that makes Modest slow to use. it has to handle all that stuff.
You hit the nail on the head. In the past, I have attempted to debug Modest and my findings indicated that a lot of traffic was caused by same queries (such as asking the server for the list of folders it knew about) being issued over and over again for no apparent reason.

This is clearly not going to improve performance...

BTW, the brainstorm to log improvements to Modest is now open for "solutions" entries.
