Yes, but currently libkdenetwork serves as a pool of all that stuff: 
kmime, kpgp, common widgets,... and it seves it well. If kmime or kpgp 
or kmime::ui near completion API-wise, one can think of separating them 
into libs of their own.

message, folder, account classes & related config code.
To a wider extend "central classes" like kmheader, kmcomposewin, 
kmreader, kmmainwin. Those are full of years-old code, while the rtest 
of Kmail was rewritten in one way or the other in the last 1 1/2 years.

I wrote refactor and meant the KDE-style of it, not the 
www.refactoring.com defnition. I've given up to ask for testcases when 
somebody wrote "refactor" in her CV log entry. ;-)

Rewritten would be a better word. Redesign doesn't fit it as nicely, 
since e.g. the filters weren't really redesigned (unfortunately - or 
maybe luckily when I think of the things to come).
