Probably all 3 of them should be considered. Personally speaking I think we 
should start cleaning up the codebase by cleaning up UI and processing code. 
This can be started in 3.2.
If you look at kontact the most important thing about this separation is 
probably that it makes an integration in other apps is easier. We regularly 
get bug reports (wishes) to support other guis for kmail but I consider this 
only a sideeffect.
I strongly vote for not mixing up things too badly for 3.2 as the risk for 
bugs is too high.
