Disclaimer: I just recently started to work on the KMail imap stuff, so I 
might be completely wrong here.

Let me take a wild guess at the metadata info: It contains a line saying 
"X-uid=something"? If not, you can find this by sending a slave with 
"imap://user:password@localhost/home/user/;UID=0:*;SECTION=ENVELOPE". Connect 
to the slave and you will get a slot invocation for each file in the 
directory. When you find the one that has the right file name, find the uid 
as above.

If so, find this uid number and fire off a new imap slave with 
"imap://user:password@localhost/home/user/;UID=the_uid" where "the_uid" is 
the number you found up there.

Bo.
