It is set to 200ms now. You can find it in kmail/kmfoldertree.cpp around 
line 699:


 //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 // Initiate a delayed refresh of the count of unread messages
 // Not really need anymore as count is cached in config file. But causes

 void KMFolderTree::refresh()
 {
   mUpdateTimer.changeInterval(200);
 }

Increasing the interval definitely reduces the number of tree redraws.

But the comment is misleading. If you comment out the command to change 
the interval, there is no flickering of the foldertree anymore, the 
foldertree still works, but it will no longer decrease the number of 
unread mails while you read them.
