In all builds of TB to date it seems that in IMAP mode whenever switching mail folders the mail server is checked before the folder view and preview pane moves its focus to the active message (i.e. last selected message or last message in folder). Instead the folder view is always defaults to the top. It would seem logical that focus be shifted the selected message before server communications have completed. The current behaviour really hampers the speed of using IMAP in download messages for offline viewing mode.
Hope this message is of some help.
