I'm in a somewhat similar situation (although in my case it's actually
the reverse: I want to be able to integrate org-mode into my mail
workflow).

I'm using Gnus, not Wanderlust, but it has the same problem, of course
(my understanding is that it's actually Emacs which has the problem).
In addition, I check my mail by logging in (via SSH) to my personal
machine at home, which has a low-bandwidth DSL connection, so any
slowness is magnified. I've dealt with it by simply running a local
IMAP server--Dovecot, in my case, though I hear lots of people have good
results using just offlineimap--and using fetchmail to pull from my
ISP's mailserver. My project for the weekend is to set up Dovecot's
Sieve support (Pigeonhole) to mirror my previous filtering rules.

Gnus is currently under heavy development and only requires a recent
(22, 23, 24) Emacs. Not trying to "convert" you, but you did bring it
up. :)

I'm looking to set up mairix, which Gnus supports, but I haven't
yet. Mairix itself though just needs mail in Maildir or mbox formats,
from what I understand.
I hope that was helpful--probably not, though. :)
