I actually found the explanation of Aaron more convincing and clear than the 
explanation of Ingo (I do not intend to offend anyone). I also would like to 
thank you for the time you dedicated to answer our questions.

Finally (correct me if I am wrong), the softwares that allow the user to use 
procmail (mutt, some imap server, and so on) decided to choose the "other" 
solution to avoid synchronization problems (that is not to rely on an index 
file and reparsing the folder/mailbox each time it is open). Is that correct?

It would answer the "why mutt can and Kmail can't"? ;o)
(no troll intended - different developpers make different technical choices, 
resulting in different possibilites/performance/and so on. When the user 
don't know what are the technical choices made - or sometimes don't even 
realize that there is a technical choice somewhere - it may be frustrating 
not to understand why soft A can't do what soft B can, or reciprocally)

Thank you!
