Speed, and there might possibly be messages in a folder that did not
come from asterisk - was just thinking how to skip over them.  May not
be neccesary at all, if asterisk put a special X-Asterisk-Voicemail
header in all its messages.  Cyrus (don't know about others) supports
content indexed folders.
