In an attempt to make performance acceptable, browsing works only on
demand. The first mailbox you defined will have its INBOX fetched when
you connect, but after that you have to change folders to update your
Newton. Note too that only headers are fetched during the initial sync
phase, and the body is fetched on demand when you view a message.

When downloading, only messages in your INBOX are fetched but in full.

That will have to be fixed in 5.0.1. For the time being you'll have to
ensure that when you're browsing online you switch only to folders
belonging to accounts that are enabled.
