Can we come forward with this topic. I really think that going with headers is
much cleaner as it allows interoperability with future kontact versions. E.g.
the importance or the reply-date are imho nice features which can benefit the
user in cross platform usage szenarios. (E.g a shared folder for a helpdesk)
- entryid
- reply-date
- sent-date
- importance (richer than the plain imap flag)
- sent-representing
- received representing.
Joon: What do you think? What other properties do you need?
