Don,

OK to me, I don't know the internals of kmail (don't want to
right now). 

So you propose:

>     bool existFolder(char* folderPath);
>     bool createFolder(char* folderPath);

>     int    searchFolder(char* folderPath); // what is the int return for here?
In this setup, the previous function isn't nessecary.

>     bool addMessage(char* folderPath,FILE *message);

Qt datatype is OK to me too. I don't know which one to use though.
istream isn't nessecary.

> //    bool addMessage(char* folderPath,string & message);  can't do this
> //                                              because of the string argument
OK no problem.
>     bool addMessage(ichar* folderPath,const char *message);

No problem I think, I would make it

bool addMessage(const char *folder,const char *message).

==> Hey, does folderPath mean "$HOME/Mail/folder/subfolder..." 
      Or "folder/subfolder..."

best regards,
Hans
