Hi,
before I start spreading possible misinformation, I'd like to check by the horse's \
mouth. Is it technically feasible to implement the following in Akonadi?

- Don't fetch envelopes of all message in a mailbox, sync just their UID and FLAGS

- Implement an intelligent preload of items (i.e. when requesting envelope for \
message X, fetch everything between X-100 and X+100)

- Delegate certain operations like sorting, threading and searching to the IMAP \
server without having to fetch anything but UID first

I have no idea whether Akonadi imposes certain restrictions on immutability of the \
individual items, for example, which might make doing the above impractical.

I asume that the KDE's IMAP resource does not do this (I've checked the code and it \
looks like that is the case to me). Why is that?

Cheers,
Jan, from the other KDE IMAP project
