I don't want to tread on toes here, but librmm is almost identical in API to
libkmsg and is already ported. It also does away with the need to parse() and
assemble() anything as it's done automagically. IMO librmm + libkmsg should
merge. Stefan Taferner says that as libkmsg doesn't use Qt collections it
should be faster. If there is a significant difference, then kmail2 should
probably stick with libkmsg.

Feel free to steal EmpathFolderWidget. I'm writing for KDE. Empath is merely my
mail work all wrapped up in an app so I can test it all.

I suggest you also subscribe to kde-pim@kde.org which is there for discussing
KDE-related mail issues.
