maybe.  What happens in other clients when you send no subject messages
from felamimail?

The default email app (aka anglemail) caches the mail data for around
5mins.  This improves performance and reduces server load as it is not
hitting your mail server everytime you call the message list page.  This
will result in some delay in the messages being displayed.  iirc there
are plans to include a force refresh option in future releases.  

btw I have never had the need to read an message the very second it
arrives, if i did i would not use a web based mail app :)
