Note that it affects ListJob as
well.

I guess the trick was to look at the offending commit message.

Deprecate those methods and have them return nothing now.
It was a
design issue to actually have them exported, that pushes us to
potentially
eat up a lot of memory during messages fetching and
mailboxes
listing.

Definitely a behavior change, but we've only one user codebase
depending
on this behavior so far. So we should be
fine.

And yes that's a behavior change, and yes that sucks (my bad), but
luckily we had only one user of those methods so far.

Regards.
