An average home user doesn't even know what message caching is. They just 
notice e-mails are not there when they disconnect the modem. And what they 
think is "this doesn't work". How can they run an imap server to do so? I 
don't think the idea of kmail is being only designed for the "average 
programmer".

By the way Don: (in case you read this), I didn't find Rob's position such a 
rude one. I just found that he offered himself to do what nobody else seemed 
to care about. (that's the impression I got from some previous e-mails, 
refusing to have any new features in kmail)

I know it might be not a good idea to say "I'm going to implement that or 
that" and announce it, but it might be a good idea in the other hand, to 
decide what changes should be done so that two people don't start to do the 
same thing on their own, just because somebody else refused to include it.
