Claws does both, however it also downloads *all* the headers.
Mulberry (that's not available on the tablet) uses a different approach: 
it only downloads enough headers to fill the screen. You scroll down (or 
up), it fetches more headers. Latency is higher and it cannot use the 
same mechanism for offline operation, otherwise it's pretty efficient, 
especially on a constrained device.
On a pc with a relatively slow connection to the imap server is way 
faster than thunderbird on the same pc.
