This should solve the all-too-frequent problem of a 26Mb mailbox
consisting of two 7MB mails and lots of little ones. The mailbox
frequently can't be processed in a single session without
introducing the horrid overheads of --expunge 1.
In my opinion, the not-too-horrid overhead of --expunge 1 is preferable
to adding more complexity to the code, especially when that complexity
is a band-aid covering serious low-level network problems.
