I don't know if this is what you're thinking of, but I don't think that doing
something like

  (set (intern (vm-message-id message) vm-message-id-hashtable) message)

for each message as a folder is read would be prohibitively slow.  Make the
hashtable local to each folder buffer, and keep a list of folder buffers, and
you can chase crosreferences of all folders which are in memory.
