A few weeks ago I "cleaned up" my gmail account, making up rules for every kind of junk mail I receive there, and leaving only those messages which do not fit the junk mail rules.
Then I figured that if only a few real messages were left in the inbox, I could link my Mac Mail app to gmail and retrieve only those messages… right? Well, sort of. 
In Lion's Mail, I see only the few messages from gmail that I want to see… it true. But Mail appears to be doing something else as well - it is indexing every single piece of junk mail hiding in my gmail folders. All 22,709 of them. I hope it's not downloading all messages and attachments - but it IS building a cash of these messages in case I need to access them. Hopefully when this cacheing procedure is done, updates will be quick. This has been going on for two days now.
